Prevent usb mouse starting pc from standby ( k8n Neo2 platinum )

I have a k8n neo2 platinum board and i have 2 mice connected, 1 is ps2 the other usb. What i want to do is stop the usb mouse starting the pc from standby, i looked in the bios but cant seem to find anyway to do this. Its a real pain, if the unit the pc is on is nudged by the chair or if someone pics something up and nudges the mouse the pc starts. Sometimes this happens of a night when ive gone to bed, i come down the next morning and the pc,s running. Its quite a quiet pc so if the tv,s on you dont always hear it start-up.
 

Ive just tried your suggestion now TheBigMan, i disabled everything and still the pc starts from the usb mouse. I have never known such messing about shutting down and starting up a pc. I really am starting to wish i had bought an asus board instead. Thanks for your input.

  • PS2 mouse with MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum

    Me and my uncle both have MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboards and both boards were bought from different places at different times. Both boards are exactly the same and both have the latest 1.4 BIOS.
    We're both having the same problem with ps2 mice, I myself am not bothered about this problem but my uncle is so I need help.
    Basically when you insert a ps2 mouse into the back of both our pcs, 7 times out of 10 the pc loads windows but the mouse doesnt move. The mouse is completely frozen. When you plug a usb mouse in, i can use that but still the ps2 mouse doesnt move.
    When you plug in a ps2 keyboard along with the ps2 mouse, the mouse works everything time but without the ps2 keyboard in, most times the ps2 mouse doesnt work.
    We both have no problems with usb devices but the ps2 mouse port (Green) isnt working all the time.
    Having a quick look at this forum, i saw this thread.. PS/2 mouse not working exact same problem as me and my uncle.... is there a fix out now for this?
    I use a usb mouse anyway and i know if my uncle switches to usb it will work but he shouldnt have to do this, if a board has ps2 support, it should work.

    Two choices. USB Mouse or RMA it
    What does RMA it mean?
    Quote
    The PS/2 ports on any computer can get blown if you plug a PS/2 device when the computer is powered.
    I didnt know that, thanks for telling me, i know not to do this in the future.
    Quote
    Other than that, check BIOS to see if PS/2 option is enabled!
    If ps/2 wasnt enabled in the BIOS, the ps2 devices wouldnt work at all would they? My ps2 keyboard works fine, my uncles ps2 mouse doesnt work sometimes so ps2 must be enabled in the bios.
    thanks for the replies, could this be fixed if MSI knew this problem and release a new bios?

  • K8N Neo2 Platinum wont start up

    After installing a new K8N Neo2 it worked perfectly for 1 day, no problems at all.
    The day after nothing happened. When the psu is turned on it only gives a short flash on the leds, the fans turns for a second and then everything is of.
    Have tried with only the most necessary connected to the psu, switched to only 1 RAM in different positions etc. Have cleared cmos every time.
    D bracket leds are showing 4 reds for a short second and some times two greens diagonal upper left to lower right and the other two are red.
    Any ideas???

  • K8N NEO2 Platinum rebooting

    Hi all,just got myself a 64bit MSI K8N NEO2 Platinum board & a 3200+,am happy with it but a couple of days ago i got a blue screen with a long message that i didnt have time to read before the pc rebooted,after the reboot i checked the event viewer log file in administrative tools/control panel but couldnt narrow it down as my particular error code wasnt among the possible causes.
    Among some of the possible causes were incorrectly installed USB drivers or the BIOS,i downloaded the latest BIOS update before this problem started(V1.40) which i am using now,i used the MSI live update software to flash it which i did in windows mode.Sorry for prattling on!well it did it again tonight and i managed to read a bit of the writing on the blue screen which mentioned flashing the bios to the latest version.I was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem and if so could you please advise me?

    My K8N Neo Platinum [754] did not include a NB fan. But this usually means the overall size of the heatsink is larger. If you remove the fan from yours, the size of the heatsink will not be big enough to cool your NB. As for temps, I've never seen my NB get hotter than 45'C. Note that the core on my NB should be slightly different than yours.
    You could try to use the BIOS fan control for the NB. If set correctly, it should reduce some noise.

  • News - BIG PROBLEM - MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum - DOES NOT POWER!!!

    Hi to everyone.
    I'm a proudly owner of a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum that in one year gave me no problem until yesterday morning.
    I used the computer in the night before and when I finished I turned it off and I went to bed.
    Yesterday morning I found the power led blinking (like if the system was in standby), and there was no way to turn the PC on.
    I even took off the battery for more than 12 hours and I left only minimal components installed:
    the video card (Gainward GeForce 6800),
    the psu (Antec TruePower 550W),
    1 x 512 MB Ram Crucial Ballistix,
    and I checked them into another computer and they work perfectly.
    I tried shorting the MB power switch pins with a screwdriver and I've even tried to power on the system without the Memory or the Video Card... I've tried everything that came across my mind with no efforts!!!!
    Every time I give power to the MB appens only that the power led starts blinking, but pressing the button the PC doesn't turn on.
    PLEASE HELP ME... I really don't know what else to do!!!
    Thanks,
    Alberto

    Hi thanks for the answers.
    I do have a D-Bracket, but my problem is not that the system does not boot or does not post... my system DOES NOT POWER ON (!!!!), so d-bracket is useless!
    When I plug the system power    the only thing that happens is that the power led starts blinking (with the system still in soft-off), and if I press the power switch button nothing happens! 
    I've the bios for 7025 v1.8 and the settings where for OFF on power-loss ond pressing the button (can't rememeber if it was more than 4 sec) was meant to turn off the computer, but considering that I un-powered the pc more than once without the MB battery the settings should be factory default by now.
    I went through the Windows-XP shut-down system, and i could not be an electrical problem as I always used the PC with a pretty good UPS unit.
    Right now these are the full specs of my sytem:
    - MB MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum nForce3 Ultra
    - GAINWARD 6800 2600 GLH 256 MB Ram
    - PSU Antec TruPower 550 W
    - CPU AMD64 3500+ core Winchester @11*210 Mhz (this cpu has never overclocked very well)
    - HEATSINK Thermalright XP-90 with a 12 Cm Enermax Fan (CPU temp in always below 55 °C when stressed)
    - 1 x 512 Mb RAM Crucial Ballistix DDR400 optimized for  MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
    I left only these things inside my computer in the hope that it would turn on... it did not work. I tested each component but the MB, and they work perfectly.
    Again...
    Thanks for you efforts, any help will be appreciated.
    Alberto.
    All parts have been tested: CPU/RAM/GFX/PSU/HD/DVD,  just not the MOBO ?
    Checked if the MOBO is shorting in the case ?
    Have you tried using the reset switch as power, on/off switch ?  I've seen before when the power switch stops working (lose/bad wire busted spring) after swapping  reset to power, then the system turned on. Worth a try, as sending it back to USA won't be cheap. If its over 1 year old it mite not be covered by the re-seller and or MSI. Best to check this out as law and warranty is different from country to country.
    Good Luck

  • K8N Neo2 Platinum is dead?!?

    Hi all!
    I've got a problem with my computer. After sending it to Standby, it wouldn't start again. AT ALL! There is nothing happening when I press the power button, even after disconnecting the power. Just the Power-LED is on, everything else stays quiet. No fans, no harddrives, no beeps...
    I already tried another power supply, didn't help. I also unmounted everything from my mobo except the CPU, but still no result. It just won't do anything. ??? If it would at least tell my something with some error codes from the speaker or the D-Bracket...
    Has somebody got any clue what is happening?
    System:
    K8N Neo2 Platinum
    A64 3200+ Venice E6
    4x512 MB Corsair VS
    ATI R9800 Pro
    I would really appreciate help!

    Well, I'm gonna. Doesn't leave me much choice, but first I will test my CPU on someone elses board.
    Nice illustration 
    Since I have to swap my mobo, I will upgrade to an nForce4 anyway and get a new graphics card (actually I ordered already ).
    Then I have to get a new PSU anyway.
    However since I cannot do this within the next 3 weeks, I am still trying to get my system running.
    Well, if you have a mobo to try the CPU in, great, that's a good way to rule that out. If I had that option available, I would lean towards just swapping out the board since I am already going to have both machines basically torn apart. I usually don't swap CPU's without taking the whole board out of the case and POST testing it before mounting. I think that would tell me more than just taking my CPU out and putting it in another machine...but that's me.
    The 939 & 754 sockets are much easier to deal with as opposed to the Socket A when the board is still mounted. I've seen bad things happen by not having the right angles and room to work in...
    It all really depends on your scenario and what's available to you. Sometimes we are limited in our options since we don't have an inventory as enthusiasts opposed to a system builder. Not to mention the hassle of bringing your gear somewhere or having a friend bringing theirs to you.
    Just remember if you are using a different chipset, not to let it try and boot to the OS. Really, all you need to do is see if will POST.
    That metaphor is my favorite and gets the point across rather well

    Nothing has ever been overclocked on this system.
    Everything is plugged into a Belkin Surgemaster powerbar.
    I haven't mentioned the power supply. I'll get to that. I have been using an ANTEC NEOPOWER 480W POWER SUPPLY (ATX12V  DUAL 12V RAILS ACTIVE PFC W/ DETACHABLE OUTPUT CABLES) for about a year on this system without
    any issues. One morning, I wake up, hit the power button on my coolermaster case, and nothing happens.
    CPU fan won't even spin. Nothing happens.
    O.k., blown power supply, I think . . . .
    So I take out my Antec and put it in another system. That system turns on
    without any problems.
    Hmm . . .
    I come here, and I read posts about
    potential compatibility issues with Antec power supplies. But if it's a compatibility
    issue why was my system working for about a year?
    O.k., fine. I'll buy a Enermax 535W EG565P-VE FMA 24P (115/230 VAC) power supply.
    I just plug it into the mainboard (nothing else). Hit the power button . . .
    The CPU fan spins for half a second, and then nothing.
    Did my motherboard just suddenly die for no reason?
    Any suggestions?

    Pull the AC plug from PSU and set cmos in clear position with battery removed for atlest 20 minutes perhaps longer .
    Then try to post the system barebone .
    Just cpu,1 pcs memory in slot 1 , gfx card , and keyboard in PS2.
    No usb devices at all including card reader and no pci cards harddisks or cdoms/dvd/floppy.
    It could also be caused by a short or a malfunctioning fan connected to mobo.
    Try to disconnect all case fans from mobo headers if you have any connected to additional fan holders.
    The chipset fan can also be disconnected momentarily just to see if it posts.
    If none of this helps , replace cmos battery and try again .

  • MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Fan

    For some reason the small chipset fan on my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum mobo has become a lot louder, I think it is running at higher RPMs that before. It starts up loud even if the computer is doing a cold boot from room temperature. Is there anyway to control this fan speed and quiet it down? and if I slow it down, will it hurt my motherboard? This fan is now louder than my graphics card fan, which makes it the loudest fan in my case even though it is the smallest.

  • Problem on boot MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum

    I am an italian lover of MSI motherboards.
    After I bought a MSI KT3 Ultra Aru, then MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR and now I have a K8N Neo2 Platinum.
    My hardware are:
    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
    Athlon 64 3200 Winchester
    Corsair XMS 1024 TWINX 3200 PLL
    Maxtor Diamond Plus 9 80 Gb
    Asus Radeon 9600XT.
    The problem is that at the power on the bios don't start. The LED on D-Bracket are three green and one red. On the manual this error are written:
    Inizializing Video Interface
    This will start detecting CPU clock, checking type of video onboard. Then, detect and initialize the video adapter.
    This problem is frequent for my motherboard. However not always.
    I attend your answer for this problem.
    Thank you for all and for my english school.

    Hi Italiano,
    Welcome to the forum.
    Have you details of your power supply. please show Maximum 3.3v,5v & 12v.
    These are usually on the side of the power unit.
    try:-
    1) Enter bios Cell Menu - HT change from 5 ---> 4 using +/- keys. Save & exit.
    If it still doesn't boot try:-
    2) Re-inserting your Asus Radeon 9600XT. Sometimes they don't go in correctly.
    3) See if you can boot with just 1 memory module in slot 1.
    Luck

  • K8N Neo2 platinum & 750g sata RAID issue

    Hi there I have an issue with booting up. I have 1 200g Western digital HDD where windows is installed and I have 1 further 500g WD drive which were both fine until I decided to buy 2 samsung 750g HDD's to run in RAID. I have installed the drives in RAID and formatted but I am having a problem with booting.
    If I reset, the computer keeps rebooting at the detection stage, powers off and keeps doing it over and over. Sometimes it will go through if you wait long enough. When I turn the power on and off it will go through the detection stage no worries every time but then at the XP loading screen it will freeze there. Sometimes it goes through and I will boot into XP fine and other times I can't get in.
    I have the latest Bios 7025V1D but I am wondering if this issue is bios related because of the 750g size... The problem has only started since I have installed the two 750g HDD's in RAID. Does this bios version support 750g HDD's? Is there an updated BIOS to fix this problem somewhere?
    I have 2gig of ram, 3500+ processor, latest Nforce3 drivers from Nvidia, RAID drives on sata ports/3/4, 500gig WD on sata port 1, 200 gig WD is HDD is IDE, Windows SP2 and all updated, ummmmmm everything else is fine I'm fairly sure.
    I had a few troubles installing the RAID drivers because windows didn't want to accept the drivers I downloaded from here and did not want to accept the drivers in windows. I ended up getting it the drives to come on-line through the use of START/NVIDIA corp/ NVIDIA RAID program (cant remember the name, typing this on another computer).
    Any ideas would be greatly and very muchly appreciated!
    Terry.

    Ok My PSU is: WideTECH 550w, +3.3v=33a, +5v=36a, +12v=25a, -12v=1.0a, +5vsb=2.5a.
    I am only running 3 HDD's at the moment, the 2 750's and the 1 200gig. I have left the other 500gig unplugged until I get this problem sorted. I don't have a cd rom plugged in or a floppy. I only connect them when I need to because this computer is setup to be a storage server and I use my other pc for anything dvd related etc. The only other thing which is chewing power is the video card which is an old 6800gt ultra. So basically the power issue was fine until I installed the two extra HDD's and as I have unplugged the 500gig for the time being its only really one extra HDD which shouldn't be an issue. Oh I have two 80mm case fans using the psu aswell.
    As for my other specs: I have 1 gig of Geil dual channel RAM 2x512 sticks, CPU=AMD Athlon64 3500+, MB is MSI K8n Neo2 Platinum, Vid card= Leadtek geforce 6800gt ultra 256 agp, You know about my HDD's but here they are again= 1x 200g WD caviar IDE, 1x 500g WD caviar sata(1 I think), 2 x 750g samsung sata (2 I think), OS = XP Home SP2 with all lasest automatic updates, latest BIOS etc etc etc....
    My windows is a legit copy as well.
    You mentioned putting my HDD's into sata 1 mode... I was of the opinion that my motherboard does not support sata2 anyway and would not allow them to run in anything but sata1?? If I did want to change the sata mode where would I do this anyway?
    Thanks for your reply but I don't think it has to do with psu or sata mode although I'm interested about this sata2 thing, please explain.
    Thanks in advance,
    Terry.

  • K8N-Neo2 Platinum pauses for 25 sec at boot, nvatabus.sys the problem?

    All,
    After POSTing normally and starting to load Windows XP, my system halts at the Windows XP splash screen for about 25 seconds. Nothing happens, no disk activity or anything, the system just sits there.
    I used Microsoft's Bootvis utility to see what was happening. It turns out that the nvatabus.sys driver consumes 100% CPU at boot for 25 seconds then the system continues to boot normally. Does anyone else see anything like this?
    I am running the latest nForce drivers from MSI. The driver in question:
    NVIDIA nForce3 Serial ATA Controller 2.6
    Driver Date 6/3/2004
    c:\WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\nvatabus.sys 5.10.2600.0446
    Windows XP SP1
    I have a RAID1 of two 160 GB SATA drives. The mirror is healthy and working fine.
    After booting the system is rock-solid stable, no problems there. It's just this unexplained pause at boot. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

    ok check it out guy's this thing drove me insane all night last night and most of today. I was ready to return everything and give up. But alas all is not lost. Here is the rundown on what i just did.
    My Equipment:
    Athlon 64 3800+(w/ stock fan)
    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Socket 939
    2X512 Corsair TWINX1024-3200XLPRO ( with the cool led's )
    2 SATA HD (1 Maxtor Diamond10 300 GB w/ 16mb cache, 1 Segate 160GB w/8mb cache)
    PP&C 425 ATX Deluxe
    Radeon 9700 Pro ( cat 4.8 )
    Audigy2 ZS
    Sony Floppy
    Sony 8x52x52x32 DVD Rewrite
    I have been reading and reading just like all you guy's. On a few websites i would pick up bits and pieces on what to try. Heres what i did. Upon Boot up i entered the bios. I then went to Cell Soft and adjusted my timings for my memory. I was at 2.5 not 2.75. I then set my speed down to 166. Exited and restarted. Big mistake everything ri=uns terrible slow and my expensive DDR 400 memory was showing up correctly at 333. Rebooted again entered the bios. reset my speed to 400. Then set the Overclock feature to manual. Set my timings at 2,2,5,2 200 and 2.75 volts. After saving settings and exiting I then turned off the computer. As per some other suggestions I moved my Audigy2 to the bottom most pci slot the one above the orange slot. I moved my memory to slots 2 and 4. I moved my SATA to slots 3 and 4. I rebooted went into the bios again and setup all my voltages. CPU was Auto, AGP was max yellow setting. Memory still at 2.75. I disabled the onboard serial and parrallel ports. Rebooted
    Fearing the worst,
    5 seconds, 10 seconds, windows screen loging prompt. There was nothing wrong at all. It rebooted effortlessly. It re found my Audigy card and wanted driver but that was it. I am going to reboot a few more times and then run sisandra to test. I hope some of this will help you. I post in a few after some of those reboots.

  • Reboot problem with MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and 250 GB SATA HDD

    I'm having a "reboot" problem with my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum. After turning my system on it will run without any problems, until I reboot. After a reboot it will always hang after the initial windows-bootscreen. The HDD-light will remain on. If, instead of going into Windows XP SP2, I try to enter the BIOS after a reboot (DEL) the system will also hang (blank screen with blinking cursor).
    It started doing this after I installed the Maxtor 250 GB SATA disk. Before, I didn't have problems rebooting. If I disconnect the Maxtor drive I can reboot and enter BIOS and Windows each and every time. Reconnecting the Maxtor 250 GB SATA drive will return the reboot problem. I always have to use the power swith to get a working system again. It's not enough to do a hard reset (this has the same effect as rebooting).
    Here are the details of my system:
    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (BIOS 1.B)
    Athlon 64 3200+ (Winchester, 2 Ghz, 512 KB cache, stepping DH-D0)
    2 x Kingston KVR400X64C25/512, 512 MB, DDR, PC3200 (2,5-3-3-8 T1)
    Asus Radeon AX800 Pro (256 MB)
    PSU Antec Sonata 380W
    HDD Maxtor 80Gb ATA (6Y080P0, Pri Master)
    HDD Seagate 250Gb SATA (ST3200822AS)
    HDD Maxtor 250Gb SATA (6V250F0 - jumpered in SATA150 mode, the mobo wouldn't work with the drive in SATA300-mode)
    Aopen COM5232/AAH Pro CD-Writer ATA (Sec Master)
    BenQ DW1640 DVD-Writer ATA (Sec Slave)
    P.S. The NVidia IDE-drivers are NOT installed. System is not overclocked.

    Thank you for all the replies. Upgrading to the latest Nvidia IDE-drivers did not fix my problem. Moving to other SATA-ports did not help either. Upgrading the mobo's BIOS is not really an option (I'm using one version before the most recent and there isn't anything in the fixlist of the latest BIOS).
    Now I've contacted Maxtor for (hopefully) a new firmware.

    I did use the search function to find other people with similar problems. The reason I started a topic of my own was because of the text you get while joining:

    Do not hijack another persons topic. If you have a similar problem, start your own thread anyway.
    Maybe in retrospect I should first have tried the solutions in other topics.

    Other than that most boot delay problems are related to bad IDE (master/slave) configuration or cables .
