I am using an ABIT ZM6 (440ZX) motherboard with the latest BIOS update.

For some reason it kills the keyboard. Sometimes it shuts it's self down without warning.

Sometimes want boot without unpluging the keyboard then pluging it back in again.

I think it might be related to the power supply or motherboard.

Any other Ideas, have tried 3 different keyboards.

Check the device manager ,and if there is nothing conflicting,then consider the possibility that the motherboard is the cause.

The keyboard is fine. Check another motherboard, if that's not the problem check the power supply. (I'm sure is the motherboard)

I pegged it down to the MB/PS, I have seen simlar systoms due to a driver, but not in this case. Guess I'll send them back for free replacement.

Plug your keyboard into another computer,
if it works, you have motherboard problems.
You could try re-flashing your bios and see
if that helps.

Don't bother trying any other keyboards. You have a bad motherboard. It's too bad that the only thing that makes it bad is the keyboard connection/data transfer. Unfortunately you'll have to invest in a new motherboard. Sorry.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
