Question about ASUS P5N-E SLI Motherboard

ASUS P5N-SLI Motherboard

Hello, I just received this motherboard today and installed all the necessary hardware and there's just one problem; it won't recognize any keyboard I use. Upon the first power-on the lights on the keyboard (scroll, CAPS, and num lock) all flashed, but I can't press DEL or TAB to get into the BIOS menu. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the reply, I found the answer on the ASUS website, all I had to do was remove one of my sticks of RAM (I had 2 sticks of 1 gig each), reboot, and it recognized the keyboard. Now I'm running into another totally unrelated problem, which is my computer freezes when I try to install XP. It's a legit copy but my computer stops about halfway through the installation. I appreciate the help.

    I'd say it's the memory as long as you didn't have any prior problems like this. There is a program if you search google for memory test it will give you something to burn on a cd and reboot with to test the memory out.

You should try updating the bios - here is the link for all the updates; http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=P5N32-E%20SLI and here for the procedure; http://support.asus.com/technicaldocuments/technicaldocuments.aspx?root=198&SLanguage=en-us If that doesn't work, try clearing the CMOS (ask again if you need help with this) What sort of keyboards are you trying? go for a basic simple keyboard, not wireless, not specialised. Use a ps2 port keyboard not USB. Hope this helps :)

Why msi motherboard not recognizing keyboard?
The simple answer is to try a different keyboard first just to make sure that the problem isn't the keyboard. If it still doesn't work go into the BIOS and change the settings to report an error if no keyboard detected, if it says it can't find a keyboard during the boot process, then you may have a problem with your hardware/BIOS chip

Audio driver not installing for win xp sp3
You need to download the audio from intel. As well as the motherboard inf or motherboard drivers. These allow XP to recognize or identify the hardware then you need to install the audio driver. Audio is the usual one that xp won;t be able to get working.

I have a lexar 2gb jd firefly usb drive and i dont know hoe to install the driver for it. Please help me!
You don't need to install any drivers for it, windows should detect new hardware and install the drivers that it already has for it. If your system isn't detecting new hardware when your plugging it in, then you might have an issue with your USB ports on your motherboard. If thats the case then go ahead and try hooking up like a USB keyboard or USB mouse. If it recognizes those then you know your ports are fine.

If your ports are fine and your USB firefly drive isn't being recognized, then your USB firefly drive is bad.

Ethernet controller
Hello there.

It sounds like at first guess, you do not have the necessary drivers installed. Your ethernet card is not supported by Windows unless you install the driver. You can verify this by right clicking "My Computer" then clicking "Properties" then clicking the
"Hardware" tab and finally "Device Manager". Notice if there are any devices not currently installed.

Please click here to see the webpage with the drivers. Your ethernet uses NVIDIA nForce4 System Drivers so thats the one to click.

Notice there are other drivers on the website too. For example sound.

Hope this helps.
