If you have a Ps2 mouse attached you will not get into the bios.
Had me stumped for a while. :mad:

But with only K/B attached it's OK to enter BIOS?
What is your bios version? Have you tried to update it?

Hi Mr Giga Rep man.
Yes if you have a usb keyboard attached only no problem.
If you have a ps2 mouse attached you have no hope in hell, it locks up and sometime you get a blank bios screen with the mouse arrow clearly visible (that was my clue )
Remove said mouse and the bios works ok.
Took me ages to find the problem not too pleased as I nearly sent the thing back.
Latest bios version, and I even re flashed in vain hope.

We have just tested this mobo on F1 bios with 2 different PS/2 mice (Genius & Fujitsu) and no problem found.
Please try with the latest bios F2g, if not solved then let me know your PS/2 mouse vendor and exact model. Thanks

The mouse is a Trust brand ami scroll pro 300 from around 2004,I purchased 5 as I like them this is the last one.
I will re flash my bios this weekend and see.

Ps2 and usb mouse is fine with mine.

Prehaps

It is the age of the mouse then guys?

Is the new BIOS any good?
