Hi, I just ran a Motherboard/Video test and I'm a little confused about the keyboard POST test. When I ran the test I had a USB keyboard plugged in, so my question is...did the test fail because I had a USB keyboard or is there something wrong with the PS/2 ports? Below are the test results for all to see.

thesithmonkey,

USB keyboards emulate a PS2 keyboard and controller so the answer to your question is I don't know.  If you have a PS2 keyboard handy use it and rerun the test.  You could also do the same with another USB keyboard.
