I have just built an A75M + A6 HTPC and I don't need/have a keyboard. But when I boot the HTPC without the keyboard, it doesn't boot, it detects that there is no keyboard present so I can't boot to SO. BIOS HALT ON ERROR. I have been looking for any HALT ERRORS menu in the UEFI BIOS but there is nothing. How to boot without the keyboard?
If there is no free / BIOS possibility... would it boot with a USB numeric keypad instead of a standard keyboard? (easier to hide, cheapier to buy).
Thanks!

Sounds like you need a cheap wireless keyboard. Then you can hide it easily and who knows, maybe you will need it for something someday.
*edit*
looks like ebay has a bunch around 10-20 USD.

Same board+CPU no mouse/keyboard booting without a problem.
Iam using the latest BIOS so maybe update and check the settings.
I dont if there is anything you have to change but I cant remember anything.
EDIT: Boot -> Boot Failure Guard -> Disabled
Maybe try this.

No, that option doesn't work, at least with my original A75M BIOS. I'm going to see if I can upgrade the BIOS.
EDIT: Just upgraded and it works. Thanks!!
