When I boot my computer up, it starts up with no problems and what so ever but the problem is when theres a power outage in my area(happens quite often 'cause the company is replacing cables)my computer dies(no shit) and when i can select to boot up in safe mode and normal mode, if I touch ANYTHING it freezes completely and I will need to restart but if I just let the countdown run to zero it boots up problem free.
wenn the power gets off, its normal you get a choise menu to boot normale safe mode and so ever.
if i get you right, you say that if that screen appears you can´t do anything, just waiting tille the 30second time is runn off, then it boots normal?
so if i read this right, you computer does not freeze at all, only youre io controlls dont seem to work under dos. (wenn you have a (usb) wireless keyboard) that can make the issue 2
if you have a usb keyboard? maybe try a legacy ps2 keyboard to plug in, maybe its something with ya usb ports. wenn you booted up windows maybe try to reinstall windows, and go to look for some bios updates. maybe its an well known issue about youre bios version, so try to update it once :) or reinstall windows :)
i think cause of the power failuires in ya home i think youre bios, resettet, too long no power or so.
go into bios, maybe somewhere there is a setting that disableds youre usb ports. or maybe better bootup the pc, and go to look for some bios update on the asrock homepage.
there must be something wrong with youre bios, usb ports. cause it boots normal, only youre usb keyboard dont work befor windows boot.
you can also try to reset youre bios ,
1 turn of pc plug out power.
2 wait till leds on the mainboard, if there are any, are out.
3, takeout bios battery. its on the mainboard somewhere near youre bios chip.
4 wait about 2 minutes.
5 put back the battery
6 turn power on
then youre bios is resetted to factory defaults.[b] (dont forget afet you turn on the power, go directly to the bios, to setup time and date!!!! very inportant, otherwise you can get some bsods or problems starting up windows!!!)[/b]
