Hi
On Boot, my computer started to show a keyboard error before loading
windows (xp). It would make a continual clicking which would stop and
start, especially if I played with the keyboard plug (ps2
type). Occasionally I would succeed in getting it to stop clicking
and enable the keyaboard at the same time. A successful boot would follow.
Thinking this was a problem with the keyboard socket on the
motherboard, and given a past problem with adjacent mouse (ps2)
socket. I got a usb keyboard and plugged it in. (using a usb mouse
fixed the mouse problem)
when I booted with the usb keyboard plugged in I got a continual
beebing (rather than clicking) which would sometimes stop for a few
seconds. The keyboard was non responsive.. So then I plugged in the
ps2 keyboard, leaving the usb keyboard plugged in and by fiddeling
with the ps2 plug I could get the beeping to stop. On one occasion I
managed to enable the usb keyboard doing this on another it wouldnt go at all.
The sound comes from the from the pc speaker not the sound card
I am hoping my mother board isn't toast just yet...... Any Ideas????
