Flashed bios causes keyboard not be be sensed

Hi all.

Asus P4S533
P4 1.8/2.4
1Gig PC2700 2 Dimms
ATI Radeon 9800NP
IBM 120 GB HD
WinXP @ home sp1

Yesterday I updated the bios to my computer.
I backed up the old bios to my hd.
Rebooted and my keyboard isn't recognized.
I don't have a floppy drive on that computer but can
take it from this one if necessary.
I can get into the bios setup by holding down the delete key as I boot.
Once I'm in, the keyboard isn't recognized.
I switched keyboards and that didn't work either.
The bios seems to have reset itslf to the defaults and I recall there was a
problem with
onboard IDE controller in the default setting. Without access to the
keyboard, I'm stumped.

I really don't want to swap out the motherboard.

I built this computer by myself, so there obviously isn't any warranty.


Any suggestions?

Next time...
Write down all non-default settings.
Clear the cmos.
Flash the bios.
Reboot.
Clear the cmos again.
Enter any non-default settings.
Save and reboot.

If your PC is stuffed with cards and other irq consuming hardware, you may
have remove some, then reinstall one at a time for bios to adjust system
properly. This is not normally the keyboard.

Order of things is kinda backwards ain't it?

Have you disconnected the power and cleared the CMOS ???

No probs.
I still can't get over how often I forget to turn off the main power
when clearing the CMOS and wonder why nothings changed... bloody new
fangled ATX power supplies;-)
