check settings i bios,take bios battery out for 30 secs put back in and re
ratart
have you actually had the problem and found that has solved it? Are
you assuming a setting is wrong in his BIOS?
In that absence of a solution, i'd consider workarounds - trying a
PS2 keyb/mouse, trying different USB ports.
I've seen the problem of comps not starting when a usb device is in
there, many times. i.e. freezes on the BIOS screen. And i've seen
problems with windows not starting, just never getting past the
startup screen. When a USB device is in there when the comp starts up.
I could experiment with the one I'm on. I am using a USB mouse
without problem. Somewhere along the line I plugged a CD Drive into
the USB port at the front, restarted, and it didn't start. I
immediately knew to unplug it and restart. 'cos I've similar things
many times. I might experiment to see if it's only bigger devices or
certain usb ports that cause the "problem" in my case. Don't rely on
USB when you don't have to. For keyb/mouse, i'd always have Ps2 around
just incase, or I just use it anyway.
