I recently built a new system with an Abit AN8 Ultra mobo, and every single time I boot up, it does not see my usb keyboard. but once I plug the usb into another port, it sees it. so each time I boot, I go and switch usb ports so I can use the keyboard. it is an old cheap keyboard that came with an old compaq computer. does anyone know how to solve this problem? I'm tired of switching ports each time I boot. thanks.
 
Check in the bios that it set to see the KB before it posts.

Plus are you useing a USB or PS2 mouse ?

Luck........ :D
 
what do you mean by "it sees it"

Is it in windows which you cannot type or is it that the BIOS halts because is doesn't detect it?

Also, have you goone into the BIOS and enabled USB KYBD support?
 
it is in windows that I can't type. and yes I enabled that. I am using a usb mouse, but the mouse is not the problem. also, how do I check if the bios sees the KB before it posts? my friend let me borrow his PS2 keyboard, and that worked perfectly every boot. its just the usb one that it doesn't like. I want to know why.
 
It's most likely a keyboard problem. Older keyboards can have some weird issues with newer systems. To tell if your BIOS is identifying the keyboard, just pop on in and see if you can use the keyboard (if you've changed setting, then yes, it recognizes it).

I'd borrow a friends USB keyboard and see if it still has the same problems.
