October 12, 20187 yr Hi, Have a strange problem. I have a custom built PC which I've used an Asus Z370F Gaming Mobo, 8700K CPU and Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000 Every time I hit the power button the system lights up, starts up and then stops. Starts up again but boots to an "F1 to continue" BIOS stop. It reports seeing 2 keyboards which is what I think is the fault and I've no idea how to stop it. I've tried swapping keyboards, leaving it out (causes a normal F1 stop) different USB ports. Nothing stops the system seeing 2 keyboards. I have a Element Gaming mechanical, LED illuminated keyboard and I've read that the power draw can sometimes cause this, also the anti ghosting for the keys makes a "virtual" keyboard which is also seen by BIOS as a secondary keyboard. Anyone got any ideas how to stop this? Even if I override the F1 setting from pause to continue it defaults back to pause. Thanks!

October 12, 20187 yr Multiple keyboards should not cause a boot problem like what you're describing--my sim PC has two keyboards plus a game pad that emulates a keyboard. If your mobo has a POST state display (usually two numbers) you might look there for a code that will help identify the problem. Some mobos also use flashing LEDs that will identify the subsystem causing a failed POST by flashing one or more LEDs in a certain pattern. My first suspicion would be a bad memory stick or an unstable overclock.

October 14, 20187 yr Author Thanks for your reply. I've hit reset to defaults in bios and it has stopped pausing on start-up. Wonder now if it was a drives order issue.

October 24, 20187 yr Author Its back doing it again. I've now read somewhere that if I completely power the PSU off, when I turn on and hit start the PC needs to re-train the RAM and MoBo voltages. Anyone know if this is true?
