Keyboard Error

[HGS]

Everytime I boot this Computer it comes up with Keyboard error and makes an irritaing clicking sound and will not go further. I tried four different keyboards that worked on other computers with the same results. And yes I have tried both PS2 connectors. It used to work perfectly ok. before and started doing thisout of the blue. This is on Soyo 6BA motherboard. If it comes to it can I use a USB keyboard or do I need a PS2 one to enable a USB support in the BIOS?

Sounds like your Motherboards PS/2 connector is shot, I had the same thing happen to me too, only with a DFI motherboard. One suggestion is to look at the PS/2 connector and see if anything is caught in it, if not, another more drastic course of action could be to short out your CMOS and see if it resets all your BIOS options, maybe then the motherboard will reset itself and see the PS/2 connector as working. Other than that, I would suggest its time for you to motherboard shop.

Good Luck,

Thanks for the suggetions. I did short out my CMOS, but did not help.
I want to use a USB keyboard, but before running and buying one I will like to know if it works in this situation.
