    Hi everyone.
    System specs
    WINXP Home SP2
    ASUS A7V8X-X with 1Gig SRAM
    CPU Type AMD Duron XP, 1200 MHz (6 x 200)
    BIOS is set to default.
    Standard PS/2 Keyboard & mouse.
    The problem, I changed MB's a month ago and have had this problem since. XP will boot and after the logon screen anything done with the mouse is ok but as soon as I touch a key, the KB & mouse lock. Restart to unlock. Then when I look in Device Manager the KB is gone. I have to shut down, reboot with the KB unpluged then shutdown hook up KB and restart to get the KB back. It will work then for a time.
    Have replaced MB (same type,warranty) Tried a new KB USB-PS/2 wireless
    Same problem. replaced the PS/2 mouse with a USB wireless (mouse ok now)
    I have not tried a USB KB yet. I want to make sure it's not the MB
    Safe mode makes no diff. KB works in BIOS. I have seen KB issues about this model of MB in other forums.
    I don't give up on problems like this but this one has got me.
    Thanks for any advice. Any other spec's needed please let me know.

    Was about to say keyboard faulty when I read you've replaced it... it's a bit strange, must be mobo related... are there any bios updates for your board?

    Yes
    Did that. I'm going to call ASUS today and see if I can get an answer.
    Thanks
