Computer hangs at Bios Setup and Keyboard is not responding


When you start your computer then it boots normally but hangs at Bios Setup Utility. Also your keyboard won't respond. Since your keyboard is not responding, You can not load even Default Bios Settings. When you try to boot your computer with a bootable floppy, then also it simply sits at Bios Setup. Even if you try to boot your computer with a bootable CD then also it sits at Bios Setup and your keyboard won't respond. You can not do anything since your keyboard is not responding. Your computer simply sits at Bios Setup. Very rarely we encounter this type of problem.

This is a very simple problem. Observe your keyboard and mouse. Then your keyboard is PS/2 type and Your mouse is also PS/2 type. Now check your keyboard and mouse connections at back panel of your CPU. There you will observe two PS/2 ports, one for the keyboard and the other for the mouse. If you connect keyboard in PS/2 port of the mouse and connect mouse in PS/2 port of keyboard then above problem will occur.

So if your Computer hangs at Bios Setup and Keyboard is not responding, then go to back panel of your CPU cabinet then connect the keyboard to the correct PS/2 port and connect the mouse to the correct PS/2 port. Yesterday I faced this silly problem. This silly problem troubled me a lot.
