Hey fellas,

as the topic says: Is there a way to start the computer by Keyboard or Mouse?
My keyboard as well as my mouse are USB connected.

Thanks in advance for hints.

I assume your Keyboard has a "power" button? If not then no. And it will work W/PS2 keyboard but IDK about USB. Try these settings:
Advanced menu.
USB configuration submenu:
Legacy USB support: Disabled
Legacy USB3.0 support: Disabled

APM submenu:
Power on by PS/2 kybd: enabled
Power on by PS/2 mouse: enabled

The problem is once you Disable "Legacy USB support" you may not be able to get back into the BIOS again without a PS2 keyboard or CMOS reset. The alternative is copy BIOS1 -> BIOS2 before setting this, then if you need to get back into BIOS switch to BIOS2. FYI. GL.

Overclocking is useless to me if it is not rock stable.

Cheers m8, thanks for the advice 🙂
