Bluegrass Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Well i've got a few problems with my mouse and keyboard. Every so often my keyboard will die and my CPU will make staggered beeping sounds, in the end i have to turn off my computer. My mouse also will sometimes completely stop for no reason. Both use the ps2 connections (i think thats what it's called? well its not usb anyway) Is this something to do with motherboards etc? I have no idea, hence me asking you clever people :sleeping: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 That's weird... never heard of something like that before... Have you tried using USB at all? If so, did that do it too? The thing with computers is that it could almost be anything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 That is weird. I would probably check for viruses first, and then check that your PC isn't overheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank_rider Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 if you get a beeping its one of two things, either your keyboard has a loose connection, in either the wiring or the mobo connector, or you CPU is overheating and its the high temperature alarm (depnding on the cpu and mobo you use the comp will either grind to a halt or switch off. try a different keyboard first if you have easy access to one (usb would be preferable to eliminate the mobo socket) then you will want to check the temps of your CPU, this is easily done with a touch test of the heatsink (assuming its correctly seated and is doing its job). It should be relatively cool, and you should be able to touch it for as long as you want (i.e it doesnt feel more than luke warm). Lastly you will need to install some software to monitor your CPU temps if your motherboard has a temp sensor and is compatable, before you do this post up what your computer spec is and who its built by.

Bluegrass Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Admittedly the keyboard is years old. The mouse is high quality Sony infra-red, but the usb connection didnt work for some reason so i had to use a ps2 adapter for it. Could borrow both usb mouse/keyboard and try them for a while, see if this happens with them. Might ring around some computer shops, never heard anyone else having this problem so im interested to know whats up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
