Be sure to save any changes you make. If this doesn't help, try a different keyboard. Ben

From: Bob I on 15 Jun 2010 09:25 If it won't hold the BIOS settings through a simple Restart, (never actually removes power from the motherboard)then it certainly is a hardware issue with the motherboard.

From: Unknown on 15 Jun 2010 09:36 You need to rewrite the BIOS. Contact the computer manufacturer and get the correct method to rewrite the BIOS. I use the floppy to update or rewrite the BIOS.
