Keyboard error or no keyboard present - Cannot initialize the keyboard.   Make sure the keyboard is attached correctly and no keys are being PRESSED during the boot.  If you are purposely configuring the system without a keyboard, set the error halt condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT KEYBOARD.  This will cause the BIOS to ignore the missing keyboard and continue the bootKind of hard to get to the bios without a keyboard huh?
Well it appears that your keyboard has gone bad and your computer is set to not boot without one.

Have you done anything new to the computer, new hardware, new software?  Check the keyboard connections.  Maybe the dog decided it would LIKE a keyboard cable snack.  If that doesn't work, borrow a working keyboard and SEE if the problem goes away.

What type of keyboard are you using?  PS2, USB, etc.

i'm using a ps2 keyboard. i have tried 3 already. how cani get to the bios w/o the keyboard? thnks...how can i get to the bios? i have tried 3 already but those didnt work. i dont know if my bios supports usb keyboard. it is Award modular bios 1.10ce13s. thanks...Basically, you can't.

Why don't you try to borrow a usb keyboard from a friend to see if it will, in fact, solve your problem?If every keyboard you've tried was PS2, then your best solution would most definitely be to get a USB keyboard.  From the fact that there actually is a PS2 port on your motherboard, it can be assumed that your motherboard has PS2 support...

Is this a new computer?  Or did this problem suddenly start happening?  If you're good with computers, sorry to insult your intelligence by asking this - did you connect the keyboard to the RIGHT port?  You might've switched the keyboard and mouse...  Anyhow, if this isn't the CASE, it may be that the PS2 port on your computer is jacked up.
