I have 2 slightly aged Dell pc's that seem to boot up ok, but the usb mouse and usb keyboard stop working after a couple of keystrokes on the keyboard.
I've tried different keyboards and mouse, same result. Pulled and reinserted the internal cards and memory, all of the usb ports have the same issue.
Both pc's are win xp with sp3, Optiplex GX270 and Optiplex GX280.
