Contact the manufacturer/vendor.

Don't multi-post and don't post Off Topic subject matter.

Try clearing CMOS.

You have to open the case to do this. Normally there is a jumper you move
clear CMOS. Be sure to set it back.
You can also remove the battery on the motherboard for awhile - several
minutes then reinstall it. Make sure the power cord is unplugged when doing
this.

After clearing CMOS reboot and enter bios. Select setup defaults - save and
exit. (This may fix your problem)

With the computer off, check that the keyboard is securely plugged in,
in light of the following quote...

.......Quote.....of Candlin............................
Usually DEL, but F1, F2, F10 are also common.

Other keystrokes which might work a

AMI BIOS: Del key during the POST
DTK BIOS: Esc key during the POST
Award BIOS: Ctrl-Alt-Esc
Misc BIOS: Ctrl-Esc
Phoenix BIOS: Ctrl-Alt-Esc or Ctrl-Alt-S
IBM PS/2 BIOS: Ctrl-Alt-Ins after Ctrl-Alt-Del

If all else fails, shut down, power off, unplug the keyboard,
and power up again, as some older systems will default
to the CMOS Setup if a keyboard is not found.
.......End....of quote.......................................

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,

If Jon's suggestion does not help, you may need to replace the CMOS =
battery on the mobo. Read any documentation you got with the machine or =
check the manufacturers support site for info on how to change it.
