975X Platinum PowerUp - PS/2 Mouse wouldn't work with USB Keyboard!!!

I cannot get my PS/2 Mouse move with when USB Keyboard is connected.  Both PS/2 Mouse and Keyboard work fine together. Similarly, both USB Mouse and Keyboard are OK.  Any solution???  Would be grateful for any assistance. Thanks

I built two 975X PUEs for two different people, finished them about 10 days apart.  They both ran fine for about a week and then on the same day, in two different houses over 25 miles apart they both "lost" all USB devices.  Yes, the USB Controllers still showed just fine in Device Manager but every USB port was dead.
I went to both locations, UNinstalled ALL USB Controllers, let WindowsXP re-boot and re-find all controllers, which it did.  All USB ports went immediately active and have been fine for about two weeks since.  By the way, I didn't unplug or re-plug anything.
I can't prove my theory, but both PCs were set to download WindowsXP updates AUTOMATICALLY and INSTALL them, and both PCs were using Broadband, i.e., "always on".  Tell me I'm crazy, but I think a WindowsXP update knocked out the USB ports.
OK, I'm crazy, but answer me this:  What are the odds that two PCs - in different locations - would experience the SAME exact HARDWARE problem - and no others before or since - at the exact same time? 
And, if you Google for USB problems IN GENERAL, you'll find other people experiencing the same thing about the same time, especially if they use WindowsXP BUT do not have Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) installed . . . which was exactly the situation with my two 975x builds.  Also, many of these people identify their recent problems as USB wireless mice problems, which is how both my build PCs were being run.  By the way, IE7 has already been identified as causing driver problems with some hardware, e.g., older model scanners.
Very nice, but that really doesn't answer the topic or helps :P nice story though.

  • A few questions about Memory and Power Supply for MSI 975X Platinum Powerup Edit

    Bought this Motherboard: MSI 975X Platinum Powerup Edition
    975X Platinum V.2(7246-020)
    I have a P4 CPU HT in it with 2 512mb sticks of DDR2 memory (533mhz).
    I am upgrading to a Core 2 Duo 6600 CPU which has a 1066mhz FSB
    What memory speed should I purchase to achieve the fastest bus speed without overclocking???
    I get confused as my current memory is 533 which I guess on a Pentium 4 with HT cuts the FSB speed in 1/2 to 266mhz.
    Any recommendations?
    Do I need to buy Dual Channel or can I just buy 2 sticks?
    Thank you
    Peter

    Great info again guys!
    I'll stay away from OCZ (I read it's more for overclockers).
    @DryHeat:
    I watched your sig, great setup! I'm planning for about the same setup (MSI 975x PUE, P180, C2D, ...). But will try a Scythe Ninja for CPU cooler and use an MSI graphic card (maybe 2 cards for 4 monitors in total).
    Is your setup silent or just quiet? Makes a big difference for me.
    What would you change now? And what is the most noisy component?
    Sorry for all the questions but I'm not an expert and by budget does not permit me from making any mistakes.
    The case fans create the most noise.  When they are all on "low" I an hardly hear them and have to shake the mouse to see if it's on, but on medium it sounds like a "standard" computer.  Not terrible, but not quite.  On high they are down-right loud.

  • 975X Platinum PowerUp - Windows will not Restart - only shutdown

    I've had a MSI 975x Platinum Powerup for several weeks now and have a really annoying problem.
    When booted and in Windows the system is pretty stable. I've even had some success at overclocking (up to 333 with an E6400). However, even when not overclocked it I select Windows Restart the machine will shutdown but will not POST on the restart. The machine just sits there with no video signal.
    however if I do Windows Shutdown and the physically power the machine back on, everything seems okay.
    This maybe isnt a big deal, but is very irritating. I've seen some passing reference to other members of the forums that have a similar sounding problem, but there are no details.
    Could anyone tell me if this is a known issue, and whether there is a solution or not.
    Is it the case that only some people have this problem or do all 975x users have it?
    I've tried MSI support who just responded with a generic 'have you checked x,y,z' message.
    have detailed some of the other components of my machine below - let me know if you need anything more
    Thanks in advance,
    James.

    Hi, The only thing I need to change in the bios is to turn off 'spread spectrum' and run the memory @2.2v. I have found turning off speedstep and C1E made no difference for me. At 375 if you run the memory with the 1:1 divider it will be running @750 so you can manually select 4,4,4,12 for the memory timings. This will not help the restart problem though.
    Having said that, any bios after 7.2 will alter your manual memory settings and if you enter the above ( GeILs recommended settings) it will change them to 4,5,6,12.......... Another bios quirk I'm afraid!
    To get around this you can go back to bios 7.1 which leaves these settings alone. What I have found works well is to leave the divider option on 'AUTO' . This applies the 1:1.25 ratio, and leaves memory timings on 4,4,4,12 with the ram running @875 when on 350 FSB. I run this setting @ 375, but I put the memory timings on 'SPD' as the ram is then running @938. You can run up to 2.3v through this ram according to OCUK where I bought the memory which may help you get up to these speeds or tighten the timings a bit.
    380 is about the fastsest mine will boot at and adding more vcore (up to 1.4v) made no difference to this. I have tried upping the pcie voltage (which is the chipset voltage on this board) to 1.6v, but this didn't help either! Some people seem to get over 400FSB easily and others seem to have hit the same wall as me. People who can attain the high FSB speeds don't seem to suffer from the restart problems either! WEIRD!!
    Let us know how how you get on.

  • 975X Platinum PowerUp compatible GFX card

    Hello,
    instead of upgrading the whole pc i decided to upgrade just the graphics adapter. It is when i realised, that i.e. a nvidia gtx 285 does not fit into the pci-e slot, when all the sata ports are in use (i can't remove the sata connectors, as they are all needed, so i didn't check whether the gtx285 fits in with no sata connector)
    The card right now in the pc is a msi 8800gtx, which has almost the same length as the gtx285, but lacks the end of the big exit fan.
    My question is, can anyone recommend a new and good grapghics adapter, that will fit into the 975X Platinum PowerUp edition, when all sata slots are in use.
    Thanks:)

    Have you looked into SATA connectors that connect at 90°?

    i dont see the card in bootup, already installed bios 7.7
    tried the card in an other sytem works fine
    also installed the latest firmware on the arc-1220 card
    anyone have an idea which bios i should try

    can you see the card in windows if you boot off the on-board controller?
    I know Intel boards are picky with RAID controller cards.  If the Intel RAID is enabled then a lot of add-on cards won't work.  Also, even with Intel RAID disabled some still won't work.  I had to flash my SiI 3132 RAID card to non-RAID for it to work as a boot device.
    I've had my system not even post at all when both RAIDS are enabled.  But if I get a post and it boots from the Intel side, it always sees the add-on RAID card.
    Also, do you have the latest BIOS?  Hopefully that will fix the issue.
    Myself, I have the ARC-1210 controller and have NOT had any issues on my 975, 965, P35, or X38 boards.  However, only the X38 board has allowed my card to run at full speed.  The other chipsets run the 2nd PCIe X16 slot at only X4.  It seems it's too slow for the controller to work properly, or there is some issues still.  But my X38 boards run great.  I get over 300MB/s with my 4 x 150MB Raptors in RAID0.
    Good luck

  • My computer is asking to update firefox. I want to know if this will automatically update to 4.0. I don't want 4.o because when I added it before it wouldn't work with a game I play.

    It should tell you what version it is trying to update to. There is an update to Firefox 3.6.16 available. If you prefer you can download and run the Firefox 3.6.16 installer available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • Imac bluetooth not working with apple keyboard or magic mouse

    Brand new imac won't connect to the bluetooth apple keyboard or magic mouse. I bought a usb keyboard and mouse to finish setup, but still cannot get them to connect. I tried going to system preferences, bluetooth, and trying to connect that way. I got halfway through the bluetooth keyboard setup until the connection failed. In the bluetooth setup assistant it cannot find any devices, despite them being in "discovery mode."
    I tried connecting the mouse to my macbook pro and it worked fine, so I feel it is something wrong the the Imac's bluetooth.
    Any guesses what might be going wrong here?

    This fits with the observable results, however it does seem a little odd. The apple engineers coud have at least written the software to say something like, " I see an Iphone, but I can't do anything with it." Currently, it seem to behave like there is a problem with bluetooth connectivity. Not that the bluetooth is working fine, it just has nothing it can do with the two devices.
    What you are trying to say has no sens. Check Apple TV manual and informations what bluetooth on this device is for and what options is giving to you before blaiming engineers for not making something straight.
    Apple Tv 3rd (and 2nd) generation doesn't have a built-in storage and is more as a streaming device not syncing device. I suggest you read about Apple TV 3rd gen features and functionalyty and also about home sharing, airplay and airplay mirroring, apple remote app.

  • [K8N NEO3-F] Problem with USB keyboard and PS2 mouse after upgrading BIOS

    Hello everyone!
    I have upgraded BIOS from 1.1 to 1.4... I have Sempron 2600 (64bit) so BIOS v.1.1 did not recognise it.
    The motherboard works, but after upgrading I have a small problem with my keyboard and mouse.
    When I use USB keyboard my PS2 mouse doesn't work. When I connect PS2 keyboard mouse works!!!
    Can you tell me what's wrong?                   
    Thanks, bartull@           
    PS. Does BIOS v.1.3 recognise Sempron 64bit? Can you give me a link to it?

    I think that the problem may have been caused by flashing either with liveupdate or with winflash.  I had the problem when i used winflash correctly (shutting down all programs, checking all the boxes to clear bootblock and cmos) but had usb keyboard connected during flash.  My suggestion is to reflash with floppy to last bios version that worked using only ps2 mouse and keyboard with the following instructions:
    DOS floppy flash shall be performed with :
    awfl833d.exe w7030nms.180 /py /sn /wb /cc /cd /cp /f /e
    (Replace biosfilename with appropriate version for Neo1/neo2 etc , switches remain the same )
    After flash is complete :
    TURN OFF PSU (don't restart) wait 15 seconds
    Turn on again , press the power button .
    Enter BIOS and load optimized defaults (NO OTHER CHANGES) , save + exit
    Boot the system again with the floppy in the drive to let the DMI pool build and update itself .
    If that works, then reflash to the bios you tried before with the same procedure.  Once you have stable system with ps2 keyboard and mouse working, re-enter bios and enable usb and keyboard support as a lot of bios' have it disabled by default for some strange reason.
    Good luck.

  • 975x Platinum PowerUp Dual Boot Issue

    Hello -
    I have a 975x Plat. PowerUp and dual boot Linux and Windows XP. This process works fine on BIOS 7.1, but fails to boot the Windows disk on BIOS 7.4 and newer. The disk still works, it just can't be started by the Linux bootloader (grub).
    I spent a lot of time working on this as a grub issue, but in the end the only thing that affects the problem is revision of the BIOS I am using. (e.g., flash 7.4, Windows does not boot, reboot and flash 7.1, Windows boots).
    I also get an issue where I cannot eject the CD drive on warm boot under the same conditions (like a BIOS boot disc, or a Windows boot disc). Works fine on 7.1 not on 7.4 or newer.
    I have all 4 ports on the ICH7 controller used for hard drives, and the JMicron controller used for a SATA DVD drive. The issue occurs in IDE or AHCI mode (currently using AHCI mode).
    Are these known problems? Are there known fixes? I would like to use a newer BIOS because I have an MS USB keyboard that does not work in DOS mode with BIOS < 7.4 (need keyboard to select OS at boot time).
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Unable to run 800Mhz memory on 975X Platinum PowerUp

    hi,
    I can't get my MSI board to recognize my 800mhz memory, it runs at 667mhz although it's 2x1GB Corsair XMS2-6400 4-4-4-12 2.1v. If I run CPU-Z, the SPD shows everything correctly, but I had to change the timing values manually, it defaults to 5-5-5-15 if I select "by SPD" in the BIOS. I'm running version 7.2 of the BIOS.
    I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to overclocking and tweaking BIOS settings, I just want it run at the correct speed and preferably not overclock at all.
    Thanks in advance,

  • 975X Platinum Power-Up Edition v2.1 boot sequence not detecting keyboard

    I don't know if anyone else has experienced this problem before.  I've owned the 975X Platinum Power-up edition motherboard version 2.1 for just a little over three years.  I have installed Windows 7 on the system in December 2009.  On resuming from sleep mode tonight it locked up necessitating a reboot - on reboot the it detects the processor, memory and hard drives and then displays "keyboard error or not found" and stops waiting for a F1 or Delete key press.
    I've tried the Logitech USB keyboard on another system, so it's not the keyboard.  The diagnostic bracket displays red on LED 1, green on 2/3, and 4 is not lit.  What does this mean?  Does anyone have any ideas on what to try?  The USB ports have power as I have other USB peripherals that have power, could it be that the keyboard controller has blown?
    The motherboard has worked well for three years until tonight and I would rather not spend a lot of money repairing the board or buying new components for a new system.

    do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power removed,
    also disconnect and re-connect the keyboard

  • Boot camp will not recognize wireless keyboard/mouse - will they work with a 32bit version of Windows?

    I have a new iMac 21.5" - 4GB ram, 3.60 GZ processor.  Installed bootcamp partition with Win 7 Pro 64 bit - it was sealed box.  Could not get it to recognize the bluetooth keyboard/mouse that came with the unit last Thursday. 
    From page 5 of the instructions, "What You Need" - The Keyboard and mouse or trackpad that came with your computer. (if they are not available use a USB keyboard and mouse.)
    I did follow all the instructions for getting the drivers installed.  Went to all sources of info on the subject from Apple support, internet discussions and forums.  It seems that it is a common and seemingly unsolveable problem that Apple does not yet have a solution for.
    The question - will the 32 bit Windows 7 Pro have the same problem?
    BruceM

    You need 3.1 or better yet the drivers from Lion and Boot Camp 4.0
    BC 2.x was only for Vista and XP
    You don't actually "run" Boot Camp 2.x as much as partition with the Assistant, and install motherboard support drivers to Windows.
    "I am USING Boot Camp 2.x"
    You're running Windows -- natively.
