Windows Wont Load After Keyboard Failure

[Jim Milner]

This has happened twice. Mouse and keyboard become erratic and then begin
to fail altogether (doesn't matter what keyboard or mouse I use . . . have
tried several). I reboot and they seem to work for a bit then become
non-responsive again (esp. keyboard). Then total system failure follows.
System will boot until it attempts to load OS at which point it says a
critical system file is missing and must be replaced (some sort of weird
file corruption?).



I'm thinking this is some sort of mobo problem. When it first happened, I
yanked out the motherboard, upgraded my main system and tossed the old mobo
into a second system with a different hard drive, etc, and the same thing
happened after about a month of working fine. So it's not a hard drive
problem.



Any clues?





System Specs:



Epox 8K5A-3+ (latest BIOS)

AMD 2200+

512MB Stick 2700 Corsair RAM

Windows XP Pro SP1 (all updates current)







Thanks!

If you ever removed either the Mouse or the Keyboard with the power
still on and they are on PS2 ports you have most likely buggered your
mother board.No fix.New mother board required

Good question. That sounds like a load of crap, to me...

If you don't believe me then whilst your system is on as in now.Remove
and plug back in your PS2 mouse and or key board 3 times.I take no
responsibility for any damage you incur or if you are foolish enough
to try this.
The PS2 ports are,"Live" powered with a current that can damage the
mother board unlike USB ports and parallel ports.Removing and
re-inserting devices with power to them can short the sockets and ruin
the ports.

You can believe, whatever you like. I've built and used many boxes, over
the years. And, yes, I unplug keyboards/mice (PS/2) frequently. It's
funny, I've never had a dead motherboard. What you are saying is complete
bullshit.

Anticipating all the ****ED up feelings, again!"

"The hurt, inside, is fading...This shit's gone way, too far.
All this time, I've been waiting. No, I cannot grieve, anymore.
For, what's inside awaking. My God! I'm not a whore. You've taken,
everything. And, oh, I cannot give anymore..." - KoRn

Oh dear.If you can't keep a civil tongue in your head well...
