The keyboard is a PS2. The keyboard can be used to enter into Safe Mode but
will not function in Windows. Haven't tried booting without the keyboard.
Have to get back to you on that one.


If you have no issue with the kb disconnected follow the steps below.
If you can use it in Safe Mode and not Windows, in Safe Mode > Device Manager remove any/all keyboards listed.
Close out of DM, reboot and Windows will redetect/reinstall the drivers.
If the issue comes back you know it's related to the keyboard and if you test with another known good keyboard without a change, time for a new one.

What type of keyboard are you using, USB or PS2?

Does the BIOS detect the Keyboard?
If you don't see the manufacturers logo at the beginning of boot and you do see the
POST screen (Black screen that shows the memory count, drive detection, kb/mouse and
more), keep a close look after the drive detection to see if it reports detection of
the keyboard. If it scrolls past to fast you can press the "Pause" key to stop the
boot up routine, when you want to continue boot press any key.

What happens if you boot to Safe Mode?
To get to the startup menu press the F8 key after you see the logo or post and
before XP loads, then select Safe Mode in the menu.

What happens if you boot with the keyboard disconnected?
