It's just me or I dunno understand very well what you're talking about, with the BIOS "load safe options" the system must boot without issues, if the error persist maybe updating the BIOS should solve the problem, if the BIOS is up to date then rolling back could solve the problem too, I dunno if that problem came after you update your BIOS. Also, if you experience problems with your floppy, disable it in the BIOS.

Try what fitseries sed, i had that issue in the past too. If that doesn't help, unplug power cord, clear CMOS, unplug everything and boot with just 1 stick of RAM and Video card, KB (try both PS/2 & USB) and may be mouse, enter the BIOS & Load Fail Safe Defaults, if you dont have that option Load Optimized Defaults. Then disable floppy controller and boot up floppy seek, enable USB support for peripherals if need to be. After that save and exit and reboot, it it boots up fine turn it off and unplug power cord and plug your DVD and HDD ONE AT A TIME.

so you tried booting with just one hard drive and it didnt work and keyboard doesnt work also right? Can you access the BIOS at all? Have you tried another keyboard?

RMA it.

borrow a PS2 KB from another machine if you can.

what KB/M you using thats not working? some wireless KB/M's wont work until the drivers are installed.

looks like something bad happened to your mobo, since hdd and kb work on another system

yep, i was afraid of that. I had the same thought as fit that it has to be a bad controller on the board but i was hoping that wasnt the case. I say RMA it.

So you want to update the BIOS? I'm not sure that will help you. If i understand this correctly, your system was working fine until a few days ago and didnt require a BIOS update then, why do you think it will help you now?

To perform a BIOS update you will need a keyboard to work. I still think you gotta RMA.

If you have any USB hub , remove it .

Plug only mouse and keyboard .

Some cheap USB hub , causes boot delay or makes system froze .


Other possible issue ... damaged hard drive , but this can be detected more easy .
Boot its time with only one hard drive , and see if any one falls to pass the bios detection .
