1. You said that the system boots to a black screen when the keyboard is already connected. Do you mean that the screen stays blank from the second you power on or does it turn black when it starts to load windows?
my screen turns black and stays black wen i wud usualy get the windows logo on screen.
2. Have you tried booting with that bios setting (USB KB/USB HD) enabled and disabled? If not, then try it & see if it makes any difference.
erm no not yet as im not sure what that option changes, pls can u tell me b4 i mess about with it 8)
3. Can you let me know what system you have. If you have a big brand PC (eg Dell, HP etc) then let me know the model number of the actual computer. If not, then I will need the motherboard make/model number & bios revision if possible. You can find this info out by using Everest which you can download from this link :
