Ok, I've almost completed my 486 dx4-100 build but I have 2 issues which i need help with.
1) when I power on the computer the main boot up screen loads up and then just stops. Do doubt waiting for me to enter the bios to set everything up. This would normally not be an issue for me but my keyboard does not get power at all so I'm unable to enter the bios. I've tried 2 known working AT keyboards but neither get power. No led lights...nothing!
2) when I press the reset button the computer commences it's reset cycle but then the monitor stays black. If I power off the computer and then power it on again it goes back to the main boot up screen mentioned above.
I have a third issue regarding the front turbo display but I'd rather work through these 2 issues first before I continue onto that.
As the titles states, I'm using a Gigabyte GA-5486AL motherboard.
