BIOS: No Keyboard Detected!

[Samosa King]

Hi guys,

 

So my computer was working perfectly to begin with. I accidentally pulled out my computer power cable while it was running. When I put the power back in, it power cycled 3 times, then finally booted into BIOS setup for some reason. Seemed like all my settings where gone (ex. Ram speed). After I completed the setup, it's now showing this "No Keyboard Detected" error. It posts to windows login screen, but I can't use a usb mouse or keyboard.

 

I have tried:

- every usb port

- different keyboards and mouse

How do I do that without a working keyboard?

You'll have to open the tower and pop out the battery.  Wait ten seconds and put it back in.  What likely happened was you modified a setting for USB and that kicked out support for your keyboard.

Just tried that now, unfortunately no luck. Should I use the jumper to reset the BIOS? Don't have a jumper but can use a screwdriver

did you make sure your psu was unplugged? if not, unplug the psu, hold the power button for a few seconds, take out the cmos battery for 5-10 minutes. after that, put it back in, psu power cable back in, and power on. if that doesn't work, the issue is likely elsewhere.
