I have an ibm ps/2 optical mouse. Once in while, when the system starts up, the mouse is not found. When i reboot, the problem goes away. I have win xp now, but i had the same problem with win 98. According to the control panel, i have no problem with the driver (from microsoft).

Mouse And Keyboard Freeze When Windows Xp Starts Up

Sometimes when windows xp professional starts up on my computer, the mouse will not work properly. It is just frozen at the welcome screen. However, i can still use the keyboard to login. The mouse is a ps/2 mouse. After windows finishes login in and shows the desktop, the mouse is still frozen. Sometimes the mouse will function properly on the welcome screen. However when my computer enters standby mode the mouse and keyboard are both usually frozen when i try to bring the computer out of standby mode and the computer is unresponsive. I think this has also happened after a few minutes of not using the computer while the computer was running.

Found New Hardware Wizard Detects Camera, But No Driver Found

I had the quickcam messenger webcam working just fine on my pc. Then the hard disk died, so i reinstalled the same os (windows xp pro) on a new hard disk. To install the quickcam messenger again, i downloaded and ran the current logitech installer (lws110.exe) from logitech.com. Only this time it failed. I've tried multiple times, carefully uninstalling the logitech driver and software each time and rebooting. I also tried the installer disc for the quckcam chat (which i also own), with the same result (plugging in the quickcam messenger). The installer gets to "step 4 of 4" (camera setup), without a hitch. "Congratulations "the installation and setup is complete! "Plug the device at any time to complete the installation and use your new quickcam"

At that point, i plug in the quickcam messenger, and windows xp detects it, as indicated by the bubble that appears above the task bar: "found new hardware camera"

Anyway, after displaying that bubble window, xp runs it own "found new hardware wizard". Whether i click cancel on the wizard, or run it (it fails to find the driver), or let it just sit there for 20 minutes, logitech's own installer never detects the camera. And the driver apparently never gets installed. I searched the logitech disc for a . Inf file that i could point the wizard to, but could not find anything that worked. I've checked for motherboard driver updates, but find nothing for any usb problem (and the usb port appears to be working just fine with everything else, anyway). I installed xp sp3, but that doesn't help either.

System Report A Malfunctiong Device - Ps2 Mouse Problem

My computer fails to detect my ps/2 mouse. First i suspected that the mouse itself is malfunctioning. I tried another one, but, still it is not not being detected. Then i tried using a serial mouse. Still my computer is not detecting it. I tried a usb mouse. The systems was able to detect it, but then later on, my sytems just drops it from the device list and fails to detect it again, and report a malfunctiong device. I tried all port with the same problem. I am already running out of solution how to solve this problem. I am thinking , if my motherboard is having a failure? My mother board is an old msi k7t266 pro (ms 6380) i bought from pcclub, usa, way back in 2001. ( I asked for their help and they just told me to replace my board( not very helpfull guys). My cpu is athlon 1. 3g. I have 128 mb ddr memory. 40 g maxtor drive. So far this is the only problem that i cannot comprehend. I also tried flashing the bios. I already cleaned my motherboard hoping it will go away. Still the same problem.

Nothing Starts Up

When i push the power button on my computer they only think that comes on is the motherboard power indicator and the light on the front of the computer. This happened about a week ago when i was playing dod: source, i smelt buring electronics and my computer died. I also had installed 2gb of ram the day before. I've been told many times that it is the psu. I just bought a new one today, installed it and nothing. Although, the fans do jump when i turn it on. Good sign?

Pc No Longer Starts

I use to have a 754 socket asus board in my computer which i recieved from cyberpower systems. The old agp card it came with was unbearable so i ordered a giga-byte board model ga-k8ne and a pcie xfx 7600gt for the time being. Excited i started taking apart the mess cyberpowersystem had done to this case. Hundreds of useless wires eveywhere. So finally i get the new mother board in, to double check i followed the instructions on all the hook ups. Screw it all back in, plug it in, and the press the power button. Nothing. So i double check everything. Looks good. Try it again. Nothing.could this be a dead board? My only concern was that i have a 20 pin power supply rather then 24, but according to the instructions this shouldn't be a problem since i used the the right set for a 20 pin power supply.could anyone else think of what could be wrong? I have emailed giga-byte but new to them so im unsure how long it'll take for an answer.

Computer Starts But Display Does Not Come

I've got what i believe is a serious issue with my rig. Since this morning my rig does not boot properly. When i hit the power button to computer starts as normal, however the display never "unsleeps". Also my modem has a light that indicates pc activity, and this light remains out. This leads me to believe that there is nothing actually going on in the box, just fans/drives spinning. I have checked all the wire conections (internally, and externally) also all fans are spinning including vid card, and the hard drive is spinning also. The dvd drive will open and shut. On startup the machine still dual boots (as i have read is expected for my chipset) so i believe that the mobo is fine. If there is any othe info you need please ask. Rig in sig (q6600).

Computer Starts Up But Only Get To The Bios

Alright, computer was working fine went into the other room when i came back the computer screen was black and the desktop sounded like it was still running. Tried to turn the desktop off, but it wouldn't turn off. The computer screen said it was working fine and i needed to check the cable i hooked it up to my laptop and it works fine. When i unplugged the desktop or turned the switch off in the back the computer shuts down. When i plug it back in or switch the power switch on in the back the computer sounds like its turning on the fans and all the lights start and come on. Only thing that doesn't work is the cd drive doesn't open and nothing comes up on the screen. I have had a problem with the power supply before and replaced it. I thought it was the power supply again and just today replaced the power supply again. I still have the same problem. I've read some other posts about similar problems, but they all seemed to be fixed with power supplies. I have also read that i should be able to get to the bios when the computer starts up, but haven't been able to get anywhere. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Pc Starts To Boot And Freezes Before Windows

I turned on the pc and the "intel desktop boards" screen appears. And that is it! Usually that would flash and the next screen would be detecting my ide card and recognizing the hard drives but it doesnt even get there. The screen that it is stuck on shows the processor speed, how much ram, and that the keyboard, mouse, and the usb legacy is enabled. The bottom says hit f2 to run set up and f12 if you want to boot from network. I can not get into the bios. The most i made it do was get it to say "entering setup" by hitting f2 as soon as the page came up. But it never goes anywhere after that. Frozen! Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I am not a computer wiz, just a long time tinkerer. I have built 2 or 3 in my lifetime and have just basic knowledge.

What If Nvidia Starts Manufacturing Cpus?

What will the scenario if the nvidia starts manufacturing cpu's? Nvidia has been manufacturing cpus for a long time. Of course, they call them gpus. But gpus perform a similar function and are much more powerful than cpus. Many experts predict that gpus will eventually perform the function of cpus, making the "cpu", as we know it today, obsolete. Intel has already taken a step in that direction. Some of their "cpus" now are actually intel gpus that you install in a cpu socket. http://www.Intel.com/consumer/products/processors/corei3.htm

The performance is a bit under-whelming, doing neither graphics nor cpu functions very well. But it's a good first try! Especially considering intel has never been a major player in gpu hardware.amd knew a long time ago that hardware was going to go in the direction of having the gpu perform all the functions of the cpu. While amd could have created a gpu capable of operating as a cpu and being competitive with intel or any other player.amd decided to take a short-cut by buying ati. Now you know why amd bought ati.amd wanted ati gpu technology that they could "tweak" to perform as future amd/ati gpu / cpus. The killer combination would be if intel bought or merged with nvidia. Then intel could tweak nvidia gpus to behave like intel cpus. Awesome!

But there is nothing stopping nvidia from integrating cpu functions into nvidia's line-up of gpus, with or without help from either of the two major cpu hardware vendors. It's not a matter of if nvidia will start manufacturing cpus, it's a matter of, when nvidia starts incorporating cpu functions into their gpus, will nvidia be able to gain the support of the major motherboard manufacturers? A gpu/cpu combination is useless without a good selection of motherboards to support it. My prediction is that within 10 or 15 years maximum. We won't be buying cpus and video cards. We'll be buying chips that function as both. They will be (mostly) gpu designs, but function as cpus also. I think the best description of such a beast would be "gpu". But if the market follows intel's lead (like it usually does), the combo chip that has multiple gpu cores and functions as a cpu will likely be called a cpu. Which is a bit misleading.

Pc Processor Starts To Work Slow

I had this problem before too, i reformatted the whole drive and all seemed to work just fine. But today it appeared again: i use winamp to listen music and when i start an application like ym, firefox or whatever uses the processor, the music slows down until the application is fully loaded. Also everything is being processed at a much slower rate than usual (like 5-6 times slower). My windows xp service pack 3 now starts in about more than 2 minutes. Before was like 30 seconds.computer specs are:

- Intel celeron processor at 2800 mhz

- 512 ddr 2 ram memory

- Nvidia geforce 8500gt (256mb)

- Intel 82801fb ich6 - high definition audio controller [b-2]

- 80 gb hard drive

As i told before i reformatted all of the hard drive completely thinking that it's a virus but now it's starts again after about 2 weeks of fresh installation. Is it a hardware problem? I have to mention i had this version of windows xp sp 3 installed before for more than 6 months working just fine.

Hsf Volcano 9 Cause Hdd Starts Spinning

I went to the computer shop and picked up a new led fan, fan grill, cathode light, and a new hsf (volcano 9). I hooked everything up and when i go to turn it on my hdd starts spinning then stops then starts then stops. Etc (in 1 second intervals), it sounds like its the computer is in a never ending cycle. When i was trying to take off my old hsf i slipped on brackets a few times and hit the mobo, i looked carefully and it doesnt appear to be any damage. Now the new volcano 9 is a little weird cause the three pin connector for the power/sensor are split up. Instead of all three cables on the same connector the 2 power and one sensor are connected to seperate connectors. I have the sensor one connected to the 3 pin connector where is normally goes and the other one has a molex adapter which is also connected. Im thinking that maybe cause all three cables arnt connected to the primary 3 pin connector that the computer isnt reckognizing that theres a hsf there so its preventing it from turning on.

Dvd Drive Works Until Windows Starts

Recently i connected my hd into other pc then i connected it back on my pc but now i'm having a hard time to make my dvd drive work, i never had problems before and it was working fine. This is what happens: when i turn on the pc, the dvd led flashes and everything, i can open and close the tray without problems. The dvd drive is showed in the bios too. But as soon as windows xp starts loading the dvd drive wont work, with this i mean it wont even open the tray. Once windows has started its the same. It looks like the drive is detected because under device manager it shows this: "dvd-rom scsi cdrom device", and my other cd drive is listed too. But when i try to access it, i get a "please insert a disk into drive e:" eventho i already have a disc there. If i try to eject it using windows nothing happens. This is how i have my connections:
(Got primary and secundary ide enabled in bios)

Primary ide: master is my hd
Primary ide: slave is cd-rom drive

Secundary ide: master is dvd drive (the one with problems)
Secundary ide: slave = nothing

Already tried swapping the dvd-drive to primary ide as slave but it happens exactly the same. Im so confused, why would it work before windows starts to load, but wont work after? What do you recommend me to do? Im out of ideas, do you think its the drive jumpers? Or something related to windows? Should i reinstall?

Wd Aaks Drive Stops And Starts Spinning

When i'm doing random tasks on the pc the system will stop responding until the drive spins up. Sometimes i will attempt to open an image or video file (even on different drives), the entire system hangs, then you hear the drive click/spin up and then everything is back to normal. The drive also does this when the pc is idle. If the drive is dying, is it worth it to rma? I bought it back in november 2008.

Keyboard Does Not Respond When Computer Starts Booting

When i boot the lights on the keyboard flash, but once the computer starts booting, the keyboard does not respond. It often just gets cut of in the windows as well. When this happens i just unplug the keyboard and plug it back in. It usually works within few attempts but at times it does not work at all. So i have to restart few times and play around until it does. I tried a different keyboard and everything, but nothing helps.

Cpu 2.93ghz Seen As 2.2ghz On Computer Starts

I am building a testing server, and i installed a soyo p4vte socket 478 motherboard and intel celeron d 340 2. 93ghz processor - when i start the computer the cpu is read at 2. 20ghz. I'm not sure why it say this. I looked in the motherboard manual and it speaks of cpu clock frequency. I believe its currently set at 100, but it can be 133 or 200m. Is this why i'm having this problem?

The memory is 512mb pc3200 ddr 400mhz cl3. If someone know whats going on, please let me know.

Install New Ram, Computer Starts Loading Up Very Slowly

My computer has one stick pc2700 512mb and one stick pc2100 256mb. Total of two slots for memory. Today i bought a stick of pc2700 512mb ram to replace the pc2100 256mb one with. I installed it in my computer, and switched it on. For about thirty seconds after booting, everything was fine. The memory showed up under the "my computer" information window and everything. Then, everything went haywire. The computer started loading things up very slowly, taking several seconds to open/close windows, call up the start menu, and so on. Eventually it simply froze (mouse still moving, but no clicks having any effect). I switched it off then back on, and it got through the windows xp loading screen then before the login menu just froze to a black screen. Switched off then back on again, started in safe mode, and got to the login screen, but upon logging in, was told explorer.exe had encountered an error and was being closed, so, no desktop. I was looking in the ctrl-alt-delete window for the "run programs" button (i thought i remembered there being one there) when the computer spontaneously reset itself. After the winxp login screen, it flashed a bunch of text for a split second and spontaneously reset itself again. At this point i shut it off, took the new ram out, put the old ram back in, literally shaking with nervous tension as i switched it back on. Well, i'm now typing this email from the computer i'm talking about, so as you can see, everything turned out okay. What do you think the problem was? I suspect it was a wattage problem. Does this sound accurate to you guys? (Old computer. 250 watt power supply. )

Taking a look, installation of a new power supply looks actually kind of complicated. It looks like i"m going to have to unhook everything inside my machine. I am not at all mechanically inclined, so this is not an inviting prospect. So if there are any other theories/suggestions how to fix this, i would be quite grateful.could it just be the fact that i'm mismatching brands of ram? Someone told me that's not ideal-but it's not that bad to do so, is it?

(Also, btw, do you think i'll see any performance gain in games by (as i tried to do) moving my ram from pc2100 (266mhz) to pc2700 (333mhz) and adding 256mb? Or would it be undetectable?)

Configurations:-
Amd athlon 2000+
Geforce fx5700le
768mb pc2100 ram

Found New Hardware - Not

My laptop has developed a new weird thing: every time i turn it on and it boots up, the "found new hardware" wizard automatically opens. (There is no new hardware installed!) It keeps telling me that it has detected an "hid compliant consumer control device. " If i go through the wizard, it detects an "hid new user input data filter (kb 911895)" and tries to download and install the driver for it from the microsoft website. In the middle of all this, it stops with a fatal error - "can't install - fatal error during installation. "

Despite this, my computer seems to be working fine - i hit the "cancel" button and go about my business. I even went into the device manager, found the "hid compliant consumer control device" and found that it is working properly. I actually have no idea exactly what a hid blah blah blah is, but having the wizard pop up every time i turn on my computer is beginning to bug me. Any suggestions?
