Do you have a keyboard attached? Is it plugged in correctly?

 

[paulrw1]

If this is a keyboard error, you SHOULD be getting a message similiar to: Keyboard error, Press F1 to resume, F2 to enter setup.


Make sure the keyboard is securely inserted into the connector. IF this doesn't fix the problem, try a different keyboard.

Also make sure you dont have a bent pin on the keyboard connector. also check the mouse as well, cant hurt any.
