UNSOLVED
No Keyboard Error
As my 530 came with both a USB mouse and keyboard, but with only four front and four back USB2 sockets (no media bay, so the media reader I bought takes up a slot), I thought I'd put in a USB pci card to keep the stuff that's always in around the back out the way.
Install was easy as usual everything goes great.
Except if I have the keyboard plugged into the card I have no keyboard on boot, and so get an error message and can't get into the bios setup.
I've put everything back the way it was, but surely a USB socket is a USB socket ?
- The USB devices plugged into the PCI Card are not going to be recognized until the system boots. Changing the "hault on all errors" feature in BIOS to "hault on all errors, but keyboard" will fix the error issue, but you will not be able to use the keyboard until the system has booted. Why not swap the keyboard out for another device that is plugged directly into one of the 4 sockets on the back of the PC?

That's what I've done.
I just wondered why the onboard usb can see it on boot, but not the pci.
After all, it's not that long ago since we were using pci graphics.
Oh well, It was more for neatness than anything else
