Download Asrock APP from disc that came w/purchas or go to site and download the app that lets you enter the bios from the desk top.

BIOS update required. You will need one of the lower CPUs such as 9700 i7 to update the BIOS - then you will get past the situation you described ;-)

Hi all. I've read few topics related to my situation but did not get any success trying found solutions.

I have a new build: i7-9700K on Asrock z390 pro4, Samsung RAM 2 x 8GB 2666MHz, Intel 660p nvme m.2 ssd, no GPU. External display by HDMI

As described: System starts, all fans run, I see welcome screen (Asrock Logo and F2-F6-F11-TAB reminder in the right bottom corner). USB Keyboard Num led is active (I suppose that means USB power is on). Hitting F2, Del, F6, F11 or Tab doesn't work. I can't get into BIOS.

What I was trying:

1. power up with keyboard connected to each USB: 2xUSB2 on the back, 2xUSB3.1gen1 on the back, 1xUSB3.1gen2 on the back, 2xUSB2 and 1xUSB3 on the front of chassis - does not kelp, keyboard does not respond.

2. Clear CMOS using the instruction on this site and waiting for the damn 4 hours without battery and jumper set.

3. Replacing RAM sticks to all possiblle slots.

4. Disconnect everything from the Mobo: front USB/sound, SSD. Booting with just single RAM stick, ATX24 and CPU 4+4 power

5. Testing keyboard with another computer - works.

6. Testing another keyboard (old apple wired keyboard) with the build - doesn't work.

No success.

An observation, maybe this help to identify the problem: If USB device is connected during power up - the indicators are on (num led on keyboard or mouse color leds). Once I connect any device to the running system or just change USB port - the device does not show any activity (leds are off).

Could you suggest anything before I bring the Mobo back to the hardware shop?
