Hi guys,
Strange problem with my PC as follows wonder if you can help?
- PC was working fine then
- Keyboard and mouse stopped working in Windows, would work in boot screen and BIOS
- When system went into Windows it would detect new keyboard and mouse but then they wouldnt work - both mouse and keyboard have been tested in other machines and confirmed as working
- tried leaving both mouse and keyboard unplugged at boot then plugging them in once I am on desktop - they still did not work, sometimes the keyboard receiver shows power sometimes it doesnt say with the mouse which is wired, sometimes the red optical light appears other times it doesnt, either way they still will not work.
- then I get a BSOD error "machince check exception" this only happened once after restarting pc 10 times from desktop using restart button on front end of tower
- then as I tried booting again after initial boot screen get a "disk error" error, this only happened once after restarting pc from desktop by pressing restart button
Now, I am thinking the HDD could be dying, but its detected in the inital boot screen. However why would this affect the keyboard and mouse? Whats going on? I can get into desktop 8 out of 10 times but when I do as both periphels are not working I cannot navigate around.
Any ideas on what to try next would be appreciated
thanks in advance..
