Hope someone can help with this. I have an old 2nd computer workhorse that continues to serve me well until now. It is a Pentium - S 100Mhz. I have been working on it continually for several hours up until an hour ago at which time it froze while I was running a search program. Symptoms are now: won't restart on reset button; unplug power and replug starts up, runs memory test; tells me that PNP INIT Completed, sits for a moment and then gives me a message  (screen stays the same) "Press F1 to continue , DEL to enter setup", I press F1. I press F1 and nothing happens. Press DEL, nothing happens. I then realize nothing happens because the keyboard is dead. No lights. Tried several times same result. Now just tried again, only this time, beside the aforementioned, it jumps to "Award Software, Inc. System Configuration",  showing CPU info,  Base Memory, Drive A, Pri. Master Disk, but no info under listing for serial or parallel  ports. Again keyboard is without lights and I can go no further.
Knowing how knowledgeable this list is I am sure someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Maurice Reid
