Bios Won't Respond To Keyboard Commands.

CPU: E7400 (intel, 2.7x2) 3x1GB DDR2 ram Sapphire HD 4870 512MB   I've tried with multiple USB keyboards, and the keyboards work fine when the OS is running (Vista x86). I've flashed the BIOS, but still nothing. Please help!

Make sure you have the USB Keyboard Function set to [Enabled] in the BIOS "Integrated Peripherals" section.

The OS will load its own drivers, but the BIOS won't recognize a USB keyboard itself if this is set to [Disabled]

You might need a non-USB keyboard (old PS-2) to do this :)
