Key board and mouse suddenly died - can't do anything!
Hi
My mouse and keyboard suddenly stopped working, while in use. They connect by ps/2. Running updated XP with sp2. Been using them for at least 2 years. When I try to boot up I get to the 2nd b/w screen, there is a rapid clicking noise from the tower, screen blacks out, lights on keyboard flash for 1 second and that's it! Before I get to buying a new keyboard etc. Could it be motherboard problem or even a virus? If I try loading a cd or floppy utility disc, windows loads up but there is a loud beeping (no keyboard connected) sound. Any help appreciated. Ron

Ron Sounds very much like a hardware problem, hence a hardware newsgroup would be the right place to ask your question.
