    Try resetting bios to factory setting then try it . If that doesn't help try using a ps2 keyboard amusing you are using a usb one .

    Don't use that stupid tool that comes with the video drivers; use the windows tool that you get by right-clicking on the desktop...if it somehow does go to a bad resolution, it will revert after 15 seconds.

    As for the keyboard, you can try turning on USB keyboard support in bios...this works about 1/2 of the time.
