keyboard not working after putting computer together...

[b1gapl]

I put this old computer together and when I turned it on everything is fine. But when it says to press DEL to enter setup, I press DEL nothing happens. The lights on the keyboard flash for a second and when I try to press NumLock, Caps, or Scroll...none of the lights go on. What is wrong here? I tried another keyboard...still the same thing. I know the keyboards are working because they both work on my other computer.

Is the Keyboard PS2 or USB

 

[b1gapl]

The keyboard is PS/2.

could it be that the PS2 port on that computer is not working?

 

[b1gapl]

Possibly....someone suggested trying a USB keyboard. But how can I get the USB keyboard to work if the drivers aren't installed for it, because I'm doing a fresh install of windows.

 

[gmanych]

You cant. ummmmmm im thinking lol. Have you try'ed diffrent keyboards

 

[b1gapl]

Yes I said in the first post that I tried another keyboard, and the same thing happened. It was also PS/2 by the way.

 

[gmanych]

make sure you have the latest drivers for the mobo and also, you could try using using a USB k/b like someone has already stated. i use one i bought from gamestop for the playstation 2 for like 5 bucks.

anyway, just try getting all your mobo's latest drivers and if that doesn't work you might just have a bad keyboard slot on the i/o panel.
