syntax
MemberFor some reason, while I’m using my computer, the keyboard and mouse stop working. They’re both plugged into their respective ports (both are plugged into ps/2 ports) but they stop responding while I’m in the middle of doing something. I plugged another mouse into one of the USB ports and it seems to be working fine.

ParticipantDoes a reboot always fix it? Have you reinstalled your motherboard chipset driver? (Although shouldn’t be needed).
Sounds like your PS/2 ports are going bad. :/

MemberAfter rebooting they seem to work. But after using the computer for 10-15 mins, they stop working. I’ll try reinstalling the MB drivers. Would flashing the MB BIOS help?

KeymasterSorry couldn’t help myself
Customer: My keyboard is not working anymore.
Helpdesk: Are you sure it’s plugged into the computer?
Customer: No. I can’t get behind the computer.
Helpdesk: Pick up your keyboard and walk 10 paces back.
Customer: OK
Helpdesk: Did the keyboard come with you?
Customer: Yes
Helpdesk: That means the keyboard is not plugged in. Is there another keyboard?
Customer: Yes, there’s another one here. Ah…that one does work

MemberMaybe you didnt use Logitech. Heh. That seems to be the source of many peoples problems. Buy Logitech and never go back.
Logitech- Elite Keyboard
MX-510 Mouse
560 Speakers
Never go Microsoft for mice or keyboards again, soon will be upgrading to the Z-5500 SpeakersOctober 24, 2004 at 12:32 am #69980David
ParticipantFlashing the BIOS may or may not help, I wouldn’t risk that until the end though.

MemberBack on topic…
Syntax, have you tried reinstalling the drivers for your keyboard/mouse? Try booting into safe mode, does the problem still happen then?
