I recently installed Windows XP fresh and bought a MS
Naturals MultiMedia Keyboard at the same time. I have
tried installing and uninstalling the keyboard softare
and still have the same issue. When I am playing a game
the PS2 port seems to lockup, or overload... I am not
sure whether this is a XP issue... or a keyboard hardware
issue... the computers system speaker beeps six times,
two quick beeps three times, then the keyboard just no
longer functions. I can plug in a USB keyboard and
continue but the regular is just dead. it comes back
after reboot. The mouse and other functions are not
really effected. I checked for heating issues but the
system reports decent temps. I am using ASUS motherboard
A7N8X-DX bios ver 1007, 3000+AMD, 1gig ram, gfti4600
video, I am not used to this system locking up... any
help I can get would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance to any who put up any ideas for me.
 
Do other PS/2 keyboards do the same thing.

Unless something is wrong with the keyboard, there is the possibility that
there is something wrong with the ps/2 keyboard port on your motherboard.

Click to expand...

What happens when you completely uninstall the drivers and software you
got with the keyboard and let windows xp install just the default
keyboard drivers?
