GA-7N400 Pro Locks up in CMOS

[Cuban8]

Just installed the new MoBo and have the following problem...

I boot up, can hit the delete Key to get to CMOS... but as soon as the screen comes up, my keyboard doesn't seem to respond.

I tried 2 different keyboards with the same problem.

If I decide NOT to go to CMOS, I get the black windows screen that asks if I want to load in safe mode. The keyboard works there.

Incidently, if I did load in safe mode, it automatically reboots because the new MoBo seems to require that I reinstall windows... which I can't do because I can't change the set the CDROM as a Boot Disk!

Any ideas?

BTW, right now I am pulling out the battery to hopefully reset CMOS and try again... for some reason the board doesn't seem to have a reset jumper.

Thanks for the help!

Any word on this? I'm thinking about getting this board or the ASUS A7N8X Deluxe. Per Anandtech's report, sounds like the Gigabyte board is better, but sounds like alot of problems too.
