Hi i just put a new Abit VA-20 mobo into my pc at the start up when it scans for drives etc its says to press delete to acess the bios setting but its not working, am idoing something wrong or have i got to change something thanks if anyone can help.

no, it should just work if u press del a few times. try pressing it wore then once, then after the post comes then it should take u into the bios

Thanks but i tried that and it didnt work, the keyboard lights flash when i turn on the comp so threre must be power, would lowering the fsb frequency jumper do anything?

i have found that it is not my keyboard after all cos after messing about if i press f1 it will try and boot the hard drive so something else is wrong cos i cant acess my bios. When i boot and it does its checks i get message cmos checksum error defaults loaded, would this be a problem ?

Did you try clearing the CMOS/BIOS

Try removing the battery, disconnecting the power coard, then toggel the PS (if it has an on and off switch on it) to discharge any residual energy and reclear the BIOS... try shorting it fir several minutes. Reinstall batt, replace jumper, plug in turn on and see waht happens. Some times BIOS clearing is funny... once it had to stay shorted over night to clear!

This term mabe you sould try clearing the cmos. Beside if always cmos checksum error mabe is the cmos battery low. And mabe u can try ather keyboard input such as change ur ps/2 keyboard to usb or change the use keyboard to ps/2 .
