    I'm not going to read another thread, but you should certainly install the battery for your cmos.

    Seconded.

      I thought older ps-2 mice wouldn't make that change. I've run in to that. Seems the newer ones will indeed interchange with no difficulties.

      But I agree that a NEW CMOS battery is the next thing that needs to happen here. After that is dealt with and POST finishes up remembering the settings that you are not apt to enjoy success here.

          a adapter from PS/2 to USB will require a keyboard that supports USB, if the keyboard didn't come with the USB adapter it probably doesn't.

          I was thinking a adapter from USB to PS/2, that will not.
