new usb mouse - now pc wont boot

jontwhale · 21 Dec 2007 at 11:51

very strange indeed. got a new Razer Lachesis today, plugged it in, installed the drivers, it prompted a reboot.
Rebooted and the screen shows the cpu type, but will go no further. i unplugged the mouse, it instantly moved on to boot.
plugged it back in again, it stopped booting!!
any ideas?

Mobo is an asus m2n4sli
amd 6000 x2
windows xp

If had USB mem sticks which do this too. Make sure 'boot other device' is turned off in the bios. That might work. (Unless you need it).

i have just disabled the boot from removable device which covers floppy disks etc also, but the same thing occurred. it doesnt even get to the memory test before hanging?!?
strange indeed!

Try different usb port. My digital camera and mp3 player do the same thing when i use one of the usb on the side of my case.

That sounds quite sensible as I think the newer Razer mice have onboard memory for settings etc.

in the asus bios,, i cant see any specific boot from usb setting... inly the boot from removable device.
i have triead all 7 usb ports and unfortunately have the same outcome.
is anyone else using the NF4 chipset and having difficulties with this?

any one else? really frustrating.

think ill pull this face in this thread too

do you think a PCI usb controller card may make it work?

i had a problem with my pc hanging on bootup with my n52 plugged in after i did a bios update on p5ne sli

they fixed it in the next bios update, apparently was an issue with razor mice
luckily the fix worked with my nostromo n52 aswell, maybe its the same issue with your board

thanks for the reply

maybe, but unfortunately, it seems that asus have stopped making bois updates for this board now

my older pc used to do this if my printer was connected when i booted it up. not matter what i tried i couldn't get round it, other than making sure the printer wasn't connected.
