K9NGM Vista x64 PS2 keyboard & mouse Sleep Problem.

Hi, I've installed Vista Home Basic on a K9NGM motherboard, when it resumed from sleep mode the sleep went crazy, so I enabled S3 in the bios, now when it resumes from sleep the screen is fine, but after a few seconds the mouse & keyboard stop responding.
I can press the no/off button on the tower & it closes normally.  I'm only using the standard Windows drivers for both the keyboard & mouse.
Anyone know the answer?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply,
Hibernate works fine, I'm only using the default Vista drivers for keyboard & mouse, In S1 when it came out of sleep the screen was totally messed up.
I use lots of theses motherboards in the systems I build & sell, it's not good that they're not totally Vista compatible
I've altered most of the power settings now so it's more difficult to put it into sleep mode, but I don't think I can turn it off altogether.  It's a shame because the sleep mode is very cool.
i guess it may be fixed soon, like for another boards via BIOS update, see example:
- Fixed keyboard/mouse cannot work after resume from S3 under Vista.

  • BSOD Vista x64 After Waking from Sleep

    Hi. I recently re-installed my OS after purchasing a new MB (ASUS P8277-M LGA 1155). I in stalled a fresh (/mbr format) copy of WIN Vista x64. After my computer awakens from sleep mode a BSOD occurs. I've tried troubleshooting the issue with winDBg; however,
    I cannot resolve the issue. The output from my dump file is below. Please let me know the next steps I should take to resolve this issue.
    Thanks,

    cperry11
    9 of 11 were related to memory corruption.  Please run these 2 tests
    These crashes were related to memory corruption (probably caused by a driver). 
    Please run these tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.  
    If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved. If you dont
    know what it is you probably are not overclocking.
    1-Memtest. (You can read more about running memtest here)
    Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program. Get it here
    Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.
    Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot.
    Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.
    If a known good stick fails in one motherboard slot but not another it is probably the slot.
    2-Driver verifier (for complete directions see our wiki here)
    Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition.
    Most times it will crash and it will tell you what the driver is, but sometimes it will crash and won't tell you the driver.
    Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.
    I'd suggest that you first backup your data and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise.
    Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).
    Here is the procedure:
    Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
    Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next" 
    Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
    Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" 
    For Win 8 dont check Concurrency stress test, and DDI compliance checking click "Next"
    Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
    Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
    Select "Finish" on the next page.
    Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen.
    Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. 
    The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. 
    If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation.
    If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
    If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.

  • Fix for Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse Freeze problem.

    After deleting the following file: /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
    And re-pairing my Apple Bluetooth keyboard and mouse all of my freezing problems have been resolved.

    For what it's worth...
    I have read a bunch of different threads on this. So far I have:
    - downgraded my TimeCapsule (still had problems)
    - Upgraded to 10.5.7 (still had problems)
    - made both the bluetooth keyboard and might mouse "favorites" per http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1907901&tstart=30
    - disabled bluetooth in the network panel
    ...and left an old PC mouse connected to a USB port.
    The add as favorites / disable in network panel I have done fairly recently and - so far - no problems.
    YMMV...

  • Msi k8n neo platinum ps2 keyboard problem

    Hi. I'm having issues with my msi k8n neo platinum motherboard. I've read about 50 posts on these forums regarding the supposed ps2 keyboard issues with recent msi boards. However none of them seems to address my current situation.
    Like many  others, when I power up my system the cpu fan spins for like 3 seconds then everything comes to a halt.
    I tried many things to get my system to boot and the only thing that works is plugging my ps2 keyboard into the ps2 mouse port and moving the ps2 mouse into a usb port with an adapter.
    It seems there's no hope for fixing the problem other than RMA'ing, but I thought I would add to the pile of complaints stacking up against the MSI boards.

    if u had read the threads a little more u might have found a solution that seems to have worked 4 many - a usb keyboard usb Keyboard if u go this route dont forget to enable usb kb in bios
    Edit: This Thread Summarises the situation PS2 keyboard/mouse causes random shutdowns or doesnt work      

  • IPhone 3G and Outlook 2007 sync Vista x64

    Hi,
    I pre-ordered two iPhone 3G a week ago (still not received them) and then went online to read user opinions about it. and, honestly, the scared me.
    First, battery life. I'm Samsung SCH-i760 (Verizon) smartphone user and I'm pretty happy with it. With small battery it last the whole day - some browsing, some phone calls and some software which I have installed on it like my database application which syncs with my PC (CodeWallet). I red that iPhone 3G should be charged at least twice a day otherwise you'll risk to stay without it in the afternoon.
    and
    Second, most important for business-oriented user like me - I'm Outlook-addicted and use it all the time for contacts, tasks and appointments, and I do it on both smartphone and my PC with Vista 64-bit.
    So my question is does anybody tested it on Vista x64? Does the Outlook problem with sync exists on this OS version also? Although MS Office 2007 is 32-bit application it work on 64-bit OS and uses different drivers/application to communicate with devices. I simply cannot spent days playing with issues like this....and will stay probably with my existing provider (Samsung is Windows Mobile 6 device and there is no problems sync anything with any Windows).
    Thanks.

    Sorry, I can't help with Outlook 2007 although I use MS Exchange with Outlook 2003 SP3 with not troubles.
    You cannot save files to the iPhone and I wouldn't expect this in the new 3.0 firmware. There are several apps that allow you to save/access files from your home computer or a cloud server. I use Box.net.

  • Vista x64 Sleep Problem (no sleep, blank screen)

    Just after installing the PCI-E X-Fi Fatalty card, my computer is now unable to go to sleep. It just hangs there at a blank screen with everything still working. Once I reinstalled the X-Fi driver in the device manager and that fixed it for a minute but the sleep problem still came back when I switched from Game Mode (default setting) to Audio Creation Mode. Now even if I reinstall the driver completely and not touch anything, the problem is still there. Maybe its the way Vista detects and assigns the memory space to the card I would like to get this resolved, my system specs are below.

    I have replaced the power supply now and there is no change. I see a flash of the backlight when I initially power the system on, then the post beeps and nothing displayed.
    To recap, initially the system would not post. I attributed this, correctly, to a failed video card. Replaced it and I'm reasonably certain I could boot into Windows though I couldn't see anything. There was appropriate POST beeps and hard drive activity light consistent with Windows booting. When I waited for the hard drive activity light to stop, I could then press the power button and there would be hard drive activity consistent with Windows shutting down and the system would power off.
    I replaced the inverter, but I lost track of which power leads were connected where on the inverter board. (IF anyone knows where the pink and blue leads connect for certain PLEASE let me know). Anyway, no change.
    I replaced the LCD. No change.
    I replaced the motherboard. No change.
    I replaced the CMOS battery with a new one. No change.
    I cleared the BIOS config, now I can't boot into Windows but otherwise, no change.
    Finally, I bought a power supply, as recommended, and replaced it and you guessed it, no change.
    So I guess, besides maybe getting the inverter connected incorrectly, I have tried replacing every part that I could even remotely imagine could cause my issue. I have devoted a lot of time to figuring this out and I almost always solve a system problem. Help!?!

  • Windows 7 and Wireless Mighty Mouse, Wireless Keyboard and sound problem

    Hi,
    I just installed Windows 7 x64 Ultimate on my iMac 24" white ( OS X Leopard 10.5 ). Surprisingly, it installed without any problems. The only problems I have now are the Wireless Mighty Mouse and the Wireless Keyboard ( alu ).
    After I installed Windows I inserted the Leopard Instal DVD and installed Boot Camp. I got a message right away saying that: "This program has known compatibility issues...". I clicked Run program and continued. Soon I got the same warning, but this time not for Boot Camp, but Intel Chipset Device Software. I clicked Run program yet again and it continued installing. Then I got a different warning: "Service KeyAgent' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." I clicked Ignore and installation continued. I got another "Service Mac HAL' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." warning, clicked Ignore again and after that it finished soon and I restarted the computer.
    When I came back into Windows there was no Apple folder anywhere or any sign that I have just installed Boot Camp ( should there be? )
    I installed Boot Camp Update 2.1 for Windows XP ( because Vista x64 version wouldn't start ) and basically I got the same warnings I did when I installed Boot Camp from the Leopard DVD ( described above ). I also tried to instal Boot Camp Update 2.2 for Windows, but it didn't start. I also downloaded Bluetooth Update 1.0, but all I got was a message saying: "This update is not intended for this computer and will not be installed.".
    There is also no sound.
    This is basically it, I really hope some of you who run Windows 7 with wireless keyboards and mice can help me, because I desperately need this to work ( I use a Windows only program for school ).
    PS. I have a 2007 iMac 24" white and while it is not on the we're-not-supporting-that list for the infamous Windows 7 Boot Camp update, all other iMacs from its generation are. Any ideas?

    Found a solution for the "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model" message. Here is the link: http://www.techulous.com/hardware/how-to-apple-boot-camp-64-bit-for-windows-7-on -unsupported-macs.html
    Everything works ( for ) now. Yay!

  • P6N diamond - Vista x64 install problem

    Hey.
    I’m the happy owner of a MSI P6N Diamond, but I have some problems when I try to install Vista.
    My system as it is now:
    CPU: E6600
    GFX: 7900GT
    RAM: 2x1gb Cell Shock PC6400
    Running XP SP2 without problems on 2x36gb raptors in RAID0
    Yesterday I decided to try Vista x64, because I have 2gb extra ram that I want to use. So I took one of my old IBM PATA 120gb HDDs, and tried to install vista x64, but then I ran into a problem. When I get to the point where it says "Completing Installation" and "Your Computer will restart several times during installation" It restarts but then nothing happens. The screen just went black (and the monitor is switching off), and I can hear the computer is still running (and there is still light in mouse and keyboard). If I try to restart, the the vista loading bar appears and then the same thing happens. Black screen and then nothing.
    What to do?
    I have tried disconnecting all my other drives and I have tried with only one memory block (1gb)
    Hope somebody can help me
    /Christian

    Inside,
    I had similar issues when I first installed Vista and I don't think it installed correctly as it is...
    One thing I noticed was that the Memory in particular is undervolted with this board if the bios is set to auto. Make sure you manually set the voltage to your RAM manufacturers voltage. Do the same thing with the timings and speed...
    I had everything set to auto at first and I couldn't even get Vista to unpack 100% until I manually set things...
    I need to reinstall windows I think because my installation is still messed up as I didn't change the timings until I started getting BSOD on first boot... Try it let us know if it works.

  • Unresponsive Keyboard and Trackpad problem AT STARTUP + Sleep problem

    When I turn on my computer it boots the OS and everything works except for the trackpad and the keyboard. I wait for about 5-7 minutes and then the trackpad and the keyboard start working.
    Additional problems:
    If I try to sleep my computer, the screen turns off, but the computer never stops working, so I have to force it to shut down.
    Temporal Solutions
    1) Boot in safe mode, it solves the trackpad/keyboard problems but not the Sleeping problem
    Attempted fixes
    1) Conencted external keyboard mouse/keyboard. Doesn't work
    2) Reset the battery controller.
    3) Reinstalled 10.6
    4) Installed 10.5
    5) Installed 10.6.3
    Known Stuff:
    1) The trackpad/keyboard are always connected as I can move the mouse and use some gestures with the Better Touch Tool app, and the keyboard works because if I click the Caps Lock key, the small led turns on.
    2) Also, I have the HardwareGrowler app which tells me if hardware gets connected or disconnected and it never tells me anything about the trackpad/keyboard getting disconnected.
    3) The OS is working at startup because apps show stuff and get updated and I can still get growl notifications.
    NOTE: This is an intermittent problem, about 1 out of 10 times I turn on the computer I GET the problem.
    Thanks a lot!

    I came across a similar issue as the original poster. My trackpad and keyboard are unresponsive for 5 - 7 minutes after startup. I've updated my OS to 10.6.4 twice and it's still happening. I recognized this behavior after the Preferences->Network pane froze while I was trying to remove a VPN setting. Removing /Library/Preferences/SystemConfigurations did not help the problem.
    Do any of you have advice on debugging the issue?

  • Mac mini loses mouse and keyboard after sleep.

    Hi Everyone:
    I recently bought my Mom one of the new Mac mini (I'm a PowerBook user myself), and she's running into some puzzling problems which, while minor, are sufficiently annoying as to confuse poor old Mom.
    The system egnrally runs fine after you turn it on, until it goes to sleep. After some undefined period in sleep mode, the Mac mini appears to "lose" the USB keyboard and mouse which is plugged into it. If you press a mouse button or a keyboard key a few minutes within the system going to sleep, the system will wake up and both will work. If you wait a longer period of time (say, 20 minutes or longer, although I haven't sat and timed it at all), pressing any key or mouse button does nothing, and you have to wake it from sleep by using the power button. Once awake, the keyboard and mouse do nothing. The only way to get them back is to unplug both of them (the mouse is chained through the keyboard as the other Mac mini USB slot is used by Mom's UPS), and plug them back in so the Mac mini can re-detect them on the bus, after which everything is happy again until the system has been asleep for too long.
    Has anyone experienced this? Both the mouse and keyboard are genuine IBM (as in: made by International Business Machines), although are several years old (I bought them when I worked for IBM, and IIRC they were amongst the first models of USB keyboards and mice that IBM offered, if not the first).
    In the interm, I've lent Mom my Apple Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, which has (as you would expect) worked flawlessly. This problem may "solve" itself -- I'm hoping to take Mom out later this week to buy her own Apple Bluetooth mouse and keyboard at the Apple Store.
    The other problem, however, isn't as easy (or necessarily as cheap) to fix. Again after the system has been asleep for some time, it often (but not always) changing the resolution of the monitor when it wakes up. I have the mini set to use a reasonable 1024*768, but sometimes when it awakes it will suddenly be set to 800*600 or 832*624. Sure, you can change it back, but that's major surgury for Mom (and I'm moving cross-country next week, and won't be able to just "drop by" to fix system problems). The monitor is an Ambra SVGA model (Ambra was a brand-name of inexpensive PCs that IBM sold some years ago), and never had any such problems on her last (Intel-based) system the mini is replacing.
    The whole purpose of the Mac mini is to "bring your own" Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor -- but in our case the keyboard and mouse don't work at all after sleep, and the monitors resolution gets dynamically changed after sleep. Has anyone else encountered this situations, or any solutions? TIA!

    Hey Jan:
    I've seen quite a few posts in this regard with non-Apple mice and keyboard.
    Well, the mouse and keyboard are quite old -- it could be that they're having a problem dealing with identifying themselves on the USB bus during sleep, or aren't identifying themselves fast enough at wake time. I'll just have to replace them I guess.
    I've never seen a sleep resolution switching problem except on a VGA adapter to DVI connection to an old tube monitor.
    Well, this is a pretty vanilla CRT monitor circa about 1999, so yeah -- it could once again be an age issue, and the fact that there is a DVI -> VGA adapter involved in the middle.
    For worrying about fixing Mom's Mac, setup her remote VNC software (Apple Remote Desktop Client) and use the free Chicken of the VNC admin program.
    I am quite familiar with VNC. As much admin as possible will be done by SSH, but I will have VNC in place before I leave. The big problem is going to be the fact that I'm going to be several timezones (and over 4000 km) away, so I won't necessarily be available at a moments notice to help her with this sort of thing.
    The CRT issue we might just have to deal with by having her always run it at 800*600 (I don't think she'd really notice the difference, and as her eyes aren't what they once used to be, the slight size increase may be more confortable for her in the long run) until such time they she can afford to buy a nicer display (I did my duty as a son buying her the Mac mini and an iSight camera -- she has to take care of the rest ).
    Yaz.

  • Switchable Graphics on Vista x64 - Aero is messed up after full screen video or sleep

    http://i41.tinypic.com/v7rrpu.jpg 
    It happens all the time -- after exiting a windows media player, after resuming from sleep or hibernation...
    This is a CLEAN new FRESH vista Business x64 install - just 10 hours old.
    It has all the newest drivers and software, installed directly from System Update.
    I had to reinstall the system because of this problem; turns out it is haunting me, on and on.
    When using the ATI graphics the problem disappears, however the ATI graphics are loud and consume too much power.
    Additional software installed: Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Office 2007 with Service Pack 1, NOD32 3.0 and Skype. No additional applications! And i hardly doubt these are the ones causing the problems!
    If anyone has a clue about this problem, please share!!! And yes, this is a fresh, clean install (as a matter of fact - not for the first time), the video drivers are the most recent, DirectX is updated. Reinstalling the drivers doesn't fix the problem (tried it on my last fresh install).
    On Vista 32-bit this didn't happen, however i have 3GB RAM and Vista x32 allocated only 2,5 GB and I had to upgrade to make use of my full memory.
    Windows (vista x64 Business SP1) has all the important updates installed;
    PC Doctor won't find any problems with the video card - i ran all the possible tests and they all got a 'pass'.

    I have MSI GX630 and having trouble to wake my notebook after sleep mode at Vista x64 Ultimate Sp1 edition
    When my notebook goes to sleep mode everything ok.power led is blinking.When I press Power Button fan starts wireless led is ok but screen is  black.And I m not able to start system till I unplug/plug AC and Battery
    Msi Service in Turkey checked my notebook.they unpluged/pluged motherboards battery to reset bios ( I think :D )and flashed bios back to 1.02 ( i was using 1.05 ).But same result.They said they don't have any idea:)
    There is no problem in 32 bit vista home edition
    I tried many Vga drivers.Now using moded 181.20
    I tried all bios versions released on msi website.
    All other drivers are up to date.
    There are lots of users having same problem
    I will be glad if anyone can help me.
    Thanks

    They wouldn't, not officially. NVIDIA started to support gamers with laptops and will do it in future, regularly. But the real problem is, that most of other vendors have their GPUs supported in those drivers and MSI doesn't, it's completely missing NVMI.INF file. Note, that there is no universal INF file, but many of them named after vendors according to the NVIDIA's filename scheme.
    But beta status has not to do with the fact those drivers are working and MSI products simply aren't there.
    Other side of the issue is, that MSI is selling so called gaming laptops and didn't updated the drivers since, well, July 2008 (GX630, ForceWare 176.10) or September 2008 (GX620, Forceware 176.60). It just cannot keep up with game releases and bug fixes for new games included in every ForceWare release. This kind of support is simply not enough for the respective audience.
    Don't understand me wrong - the products are excellent and even my brother just ordered GX630.
    Back to the issue - guys, try to use newer drivers for GX620 if you have MSI laptop with NVIDIA - and yes, even when it's not GX620. All NVIDI GPU's should be supported, check the list:

    Those are probably the newest official NVIDIA drivers from MSI.
    Other thing you can try to deal with the sleep mode issue is to disable PowerMizer in driver's control panel. I cannot try it by myself (have only ATI and Intel VGA here), but found it on LaptopVideo2Go site.
