XXHighEnd

Peter,

I tried to het into the boot menu. (before start Windows) but it wont work. Is that because of being in RAM?

 :)

Hi Gerard,

I'm afraid I don't understand the question.
Are you referring to the normal Windows boot menu ? ... that should just work. But you only have two seconds to access it (that time out is settable in the XXHighEnd Boot Menu - bottom-left).
Pressing down-arrow regularly when the system is booting, should give you the access (in harmless fashion).

Peter

I mean the MB boot menu. Pressing f2 or Del. Tried it 5 times now and cant get in.

Oops. Sorry for moving the topic to XXHighEnd; I did not expect that.

No idea ! I don't do anything with that ...

No power on the keyboard until Windows starts  :(

PS/2 connected ?

Yes an usb. Nothing. Got back to base unminimised. Even then nothing. Removed hdd and that got me back in boot menu. PS 2 keyboard still does not work. Tried 2 different keyboards.

I would like to try to raise the CPU a bit. From 12 to 20. See what that does. Regarding errors. Just for fun.

Now lets see

Boot Menu whaaaaaaaaaa

Meant Bios   ;) ;)

I'm wondering about the implications of using the isolated Silverstone USB with Intona?! Not the keyboard issue but with timing on Intona.  Has anyone tried it's removal...implications.

Gerard,

Is this originally with RDC ?

All I recognize from your story is that here too it can or will happen that I can not do anything with the BIOS etc. once I have been connected by RDC *ONLY* and then plug in the keuboard and all. Monitor then does not work as well. But a reboot with all stuff plugged in, solves it.
I don't think this is exactly your situation, but ...

Peter

Thanx for your advise... Can't get it the way I like.... So I have the keyboard trough USB.

😃

Ah you encounter problems too with the PS2. I think ill buy a new USB card with 4. So I can connect mouse, keyboard and HDD dock. Than the MB USB can turned off again. I also got in when I removed HDD-RAM.

 :)

I think you both have an ASRock Extreme4-M, right ?

Tell me, wasn't it so that the both (!!) of you has problems with the PS/2 connections, originally ? Like in : did not work, had to go to Normal OS and only in there it started to work, and that AFTER you at first used an USB connection for mouse and keyboard ?
:swoon:
... the BOTH of you ... ?

If so it only tells that my memory is fine. That is all.
haha

...

However, it looks like no coincidence, when I am right with my memory.

I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong whatsoever with any PS/2 connection, BUT you can let it fail by means of "unexpected sequences". Something like that. You already did, and now you run into it again because remember, that OS disk is expecting a normal situation because I coincidentally have a quite normal situation over here. So advice :
Twiggle as long as required to let it work again, and do that in Normal OS. After that it should keep on working.

One exception :
When using RDC and once rebooted without anything (keyboard, mouse, monitor) connected, after that in a running state connecting the lot will NOT let it work. At least that is how the issue (which indeed is there somewhere, as it seems) shows over here. But that really is all and btw sufficiently annoying at times ...

Peter

You are right i had problems before. But learned from that and have goneback to Normal OS. Than tried so much to get it to work but noting.
PS2 mouse will work. Keyboard no.

I will try to reset my CMOS this week and see if i can get it to work.
