The Generic version is right. Make sure your BIOS / firmware is up-to-date.
I have a hunch the keyboard issue means the BIOS battery-backup needs replacing?
Hello,
I have F7 BIOS version. Are you sure update to F12 version will solve sound problem?
Thanks
Any firmware that goes to a chip, and is related to audio / HDMI can potentially solve the problem. We already had such cases on the forum. It has to be the first step, before we proceed further.
Other thing, PC don't want to start without keyborad connected. I found nothing about that in BIOS. Is it possible to solve it?
BIOS screen - Left column, second menu option
"Standard CMOS features" -> "Halt On"
Based on manual it boots without keyboard in default bios setting.
Audio not working both on HDMI and audio, would mean that you have two faulty components on the board or one faulty component in front of the screen. F12 version adds next gen CPU support. Your kit should not work at all, if you put ivy Bridge CPU in it on F7 BIOS.
If battery is dead, you would see it by kit not saving its clock.
