Keyboard Failure. F1 to continue. PLEASE HELP

Hi

My PC is showing this message every time I try to turn it on:

Keyboard Failure

Hit F1 to continue or F2 for Setup

I tried all the other usb ports but no luck. The keyboard works on other devices. The ports are giving power because the mouse goes on, but the keyboard lights just flashes ones on startup then goes off again. Any Ideas?

 

Thanks in advance!

Trying a diff keyboard should be your first step. KBs do fail and are cheap to replace. Post the model kb that you find on the back of kb.

I got the PC to turn on, but none of the USB ports are working. Its shows this in Device manager: “unknown usb device (device descriptor request failed)”. I tried reinstalling the drivers but no luck.

Before anyone can correctly troubleshoot, we need to know the specific computer model and installed operating system.
