[mikesorensen]

I need help on this system....the mouse and keyboard just quit working.

Celeron 400
Abit BH6 -replaced TWICE
Ps2 mouse/keyboard -replaced SEVERAL
6 gb hard drive...WD
SMC LAN 10/100 PCI
Windows 98
64 mb ram -replaced 3 TIMES
4mb trident video card PCI -replaced TWO and even tried a AGP card
Power Supply - went through 2, including a 300 watt

HELP!!!!!

It even does it in DOS, and the BIOS


I am stuck on this one....it's been fine forever...until now though, i dunno!

if you had problems with and replaced the mb already, I would concentrate on the power supply. have you ever replaced the power supply. There might be a problem with the ps sending too much power thus frying the board. Or. it might not be sending enough power to the mb circuitry. Any problems before this happens, like the machine locking up or BSOD?

Looks like you've replaced everything but the cpu so I guess that's next. Can't think of anything in bios that would cause this. Also pull that NIC out and disconnect all drives and see if it does it in bios still. What's the cpu temp?

Just check to make sure Mouse and Keyboard are plugged in correctly, I just had a customer with them reversed and neither worked. Just a thought, if that isn't it it is probably the mobo

Make sure you try a different brand of KB, leave the mouse unplugged. We had a problem with Abit boards about 2 years ago. It seems they were VERY picky about the KB voltages. The KB's we carried would fry within 1-10 boots. So, if possible, try a different brand KB, and if not, try a different brand mobo.
