Hi, I just started using a computer I built again after letting it sit around for about a year. I have 2 problems so far with it that didn't occur the last time I used it ( or any other time for that matter ).
1. Usually windows would automatically boot up, and the boot screen ( press tab for POST, del for set up ) would only show for a second or 2 before booting. Now it just stays there at the boot screen. I did unplug my hard drive from data and power before I initially turned on the computer because I thought I had a different HD in there but it was actually the one I desired to be in there do I quickly plugged it back in. I don't understand why it's not booting up how it used to. Could this be something to do with the hard drive itself, or possibly an error in Windows 7?
2. I figured I was alright because I had an extra PS2 keyboard already hooked up to the computer that I used frequently to mess with the BIOS before I stopped using this computer. The strangest thing occurred when I plugged it in though. The lights on the keyboard light up for less than half a second (sometimes they stay on for a second) but instantly turn off. There seems to be some kind of short somewhere. I don't have any other computers that have PS2 ports so I don't know if the problem is the keyboard or the port itself. If it did happen to be the port, could I try something to fix it or do I need to get a new mobo?
hopefully not the latter
Thanks
