overclocking killed my keyboard?

tommycompton · 08-06-2006, 09:46 PM

i thought i saw a thread about this but i can't find it. anyway, i was doing some overclocking pushing my system abit, when at one point it booted up but my keyboard would no longer work. mouse is fine, the keyboard works in bios and even in my 32bit windows, just not in 64bit anymore. i set everything back in bios(which i figure dosn't really have anything to do with my keyboard) still nothing. even reinstalled the drivers and nothing.
i hooked up my keyboard usb instead of ps2 and my hot keys work but no other keys.
anybody have any clues?

i suggest you reset the CMOS if you havent done so already... failing that it could be a really big coincidence, that you keyboard suddenly doesnt like 64-bit, lol....

do other keyboards do the same thing, can you swap them around and test?

ya i'ma gonna try resetting the cmos if that don't work looks like a windows reinstall for me, oh joy.
i have a zboard that it won't recognize either now.

cmos reset and still nothing. i really don't want to reinstall windows, i hope there is another way. and i still don't understand what overclockng has to do with my damn keyboard.

because when you push the FSB, you also push your USB/PS2 ports, are you using a USB keyboard?

thats what i was thinking but wasnt 1005 sure, if that is the case you may well need a new mobo.

thanks for helping me try to problem solve.
i have a ps2 keyboard, i also have two other usb keyboards same problem.
i backed down my overclock to stock and still no resolve.
its not a motherboard problem considering i have dual boot and all my keyboards work in my 32bit os.
my mouse still works in ps2 and usb, and my hotkeys work on my keyboard just not my actuall keys???????
i'm getting code 10 when i hook it up ps2 in device manager,
when its usb its says its working properly, but its not.
i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and rolling back the drivers.
also with the dual boot i'm confused on using the disk to repair or reinstall windows because my raid set up with windows64 isn't a bootable drive, i think it will over write my 32bit os if i try to.
i store most of my files on the 32bit so i can't take that chance.

maybe i should reformat my raid drives then reinstall windows 64??
