Computer Freeze Mouse And Keyboard Doesn't Respond
Oct 3, 2006
My computer will just freeze out of nowhere, never while in a game, but sometimes while just doing menial tasks in windows, or just idling. By Freezes, I mean, I have one image on my monitor that's it. The mouse doesn't respond, the keyboard doesn't, nothing brings it out of it. It's ridiculous, and I'm tired of rebooting in the middle of something important.I recently found that the SM Bus Controller Drivers aren't installed, and I'm installing those, would that have anything to do with it?
I have a Acer Aspire laptop running on Windows XP Home.2 days ago I rebooted the machine & then the problem started. My mouse and keyboard are EXTREMELY slow to respond, if they do at all. It's almost like some program is running and just taking all the system resources up.When I log in using Safe Mode - everything works just fine, which tells me it's not a driver issue.
both my keyboard and my mouse freeze all the time! It happens at constant intervals (about 3 seconds) they freeze for maybe a tenth of a second. But its long enough to get my mouse stuck, or mispel word?
I recently removed Norton from both remove programs and from regedit to install AVG Virus Protection and in the process had some malfunctions with the start up. So I ran Windows XP repair and off the disc and it seemed to all work fine. When logging into my desktop, however, the mouse and keyboard now freeze up. I've tried last known configuration during boot, a BIOS hard drive test and still no go.
I have a Digital Media Pro Keyboard and an optical mouse. It seems like the PC just freezes by itself. I'm told by the GF that it usually happens when it's just sitting idle. The light on the mouse goes out and the keyboard stops working as well. They are both USB devices. Please check out the hijack log and let me know if there is something going on that I am not seeing,
I am currently running Windows XP. My other half was logged on and he surfs a lot of music sites for latest releases. After one of his uses we started to get this message when we would try to switch users MediaAcck.exe and the computer freezes. It asked you to click cancel or OK and doing either does nothing you also cannot close out by hitting the x in the upper right hand side. The computer does not respond to control alt delete and the only way you can get out of this is to manually shut the computer down. Again the only time it happens is if you are switching log on users. I have run the latest McAfee virus scan it picks up nothing - I also ran spybot and it also comes up with nothing. I ran a search for this file on my c drive and it does not show it exist at all. I am unsure as what to do next
So just built a new computer and when i try to enter bios, the (ps2) keyboard does not respond, but the computer turns on with any press of the keyboard. If i turn on the computer holding the delete key, the screen hangs there saying prepare to enter setup.
i have a question that has risen out of pure laziness: does anyone know how in the world i can set up my PC to power up using any press of the keyboard or movement of the mouse?i know it's possible, but i haven't been able to figure it out. i'd rather use my keyboard/mouse as opposed to bending down and pressing the power button every time.
mouse stops moving and when I click a small circle appears --- Multiple clicks will usually restore the arrow -- Sometimes moving the arrow starts to move a frame which I don't want to happen.--Zone Alarm usually shows incoming and outgoing colors but will freeze and only show the ZA in lower right blue area
I have a fairly new computer running Win XP. On it, I had an older Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse with appropriate software. The keyboard died, so I bought a new cheapie that connects via USB. And I still have the wireless mouse. Since the change, my computer has slowed horribly, with keyboard and mouse commands, in particular, taking too long to register. I have removed the Logitech Itouch keyboard software (not the Mouseware),and installed the new keyboard software. I have defragged, scanned for viruses, and used Ad-Aware and Spy Sweeper to see if I had some clogging spyware.
I got a new computer and I have been having problems with my mouse. I have a simple optical wired mouse. During random times, my mouse click freezes, although my mouse can move and I can use the key board at this time, I cannot click or focus anything. To fix the problem I can control alt delete and exit the Task Manager, this fixes the problem.
My first problem is that I can't shutdown my computer. I mean I can shut down the operating system, but the fan still runs. This seems to have come up within the last several weeks after I unplugged it once by accident. It wouldn't restart so I had to hit the reset button. I'd never previously used one, but thats what people suggested in other places when it wouldn't restart, just hit the reset button. So I did. Now I'm stuck with it not turning off. My second problem may be a direct result of the first. The last few days my keyboard and sometimes my mouse stop working.
I have two user accounts on this XP laptop, but my dh always just uses mine. We want to delete his so there's only one account. However, each and every time I try, the program fails to respond and everything freezes. Does anyone know of a way to troubleshoot this?
I have a friend who's keyboard does not respond while in windows, it can be used while in bios, but when the computer is booted up in windows at the desktop it does not work. I was thinking of just resetting the bios. Do you think that would work or is it something deeper? The computer is a Dell Desktop running XP Pro SP2.
Hello, I am new to this website, and need some serious help. I have a Gateway GT 5028 that is about a year a half old. I came home today to turn it on, and the only thing that happens is the fans both work, the cd drive lights come on, the power button light comes on, and the orange cpu light comes on. After a few seconds the cd lights flash again, and they repeat this process. The screen, keyboard, and mouse do not work. The monitor stays black the whole time. It has windows xp on it. I got it at Best buy, but it is out of warranty. It seems as if the computer continually restarts?
Couple new things. I've been using win98 for the past 7 years, but now have 2 new items a mouse with a scroll wheel and win xp pro. I've dug thru just about everything I could find to see if I could get this mouse to respond when I move it. But so far nothing. It sits there I'm guessing just to make sure the mouse actually moved for justthe annoyance factor length of time. then it jerks and catches up. Other than this nothing wrong with the mouse.How do I get it to move when I move ?
I have a friends PC, a gateway P4 2.6, winxp home. The mouse and keyboard up and died. He had a kvm switch, the electronic kind when it stopped functioning. I have tried usb, ps2 everything. The keyboard works on bootup, so I can get into bios etc... but when it gets to the windows screen, nothing. No mouse or keyboard. Safe mode is the same thing. Dont want to format and reinstall windows. On that note, I did try a repair, when it asks for admin password it wont accept it. Says invalid admin password.. The password IS windows admin password though. With no mouse even in safemode, and windows not accepting my admin password during repair,
I am operating XP media edition, Dell dimension E510, I have installed and uninstalled and installed Live messenger again and it loads very slowly and then won't respond to the mouse, acually locks up. Is there some patch or driver I am missing?
It is about 5 years old. Assembled by Mode Computers Woolongong.It has 2 Hard drives both with xp pro as operating systems on both drives. I had it set up to boot from drive D. On friday the computer was running very slow so I run virus, registry programs thru it also defragmented it. My broadband connection was snail pace. So I done a silly thing and decided to reinstall xp again. I thought that this might fix up some corrupt files.This is where I'm having all the trouble. It only got so far and froze, now when I try to boot the computer to goes staight to Windows XP setup and goes so far and a blank screen comes on. Now I've tried to boot rescue disks by changing 1 st boot to CD. This works but my keyboard doesn't at this stage which doesn't allow me to select an item.
Starts/loads fine. Will run fine for days w/ I.E. open, O.E. open=no activity. Upon visiting different internet sites, using, after about 15+ minutes the pointer freezes/no error message/Cont-Alt-Delete provides nothing-can not shut down computer w/ button on CPU , must unplug/restart Several times I have been searching MS for downloads for I.E. -6 (Updates/patches/info) (as in my little mind this is problem) but C. freezes at that point as I click on a link.
There was recently a power surge in my nieghborhood and it effected my computer. My hard drive and internet card were fried completely. When I disassembled my computer we found that the heating fan on my graphics card had broken, keep in mine the graphics card had worked perfectly fine. Also i do not use any games on my computer so the card does not undergo vigorous use. We bought the new parts and i restarted the brandnew clean hard drive and i went on the internet and did a search on google to find that when i scrolled down it moved in bars rather than a smooth flowing motion and when i minimized the screen and moved it around it lagged around quite a bit. ...
Through out the day, I have my computer on. Many times... whether I am using the computer at that moment, or if I leave and come back later... my screen will be frozen. The mouse moves, but nothing on the screen can be clicked. Also, control alt delete works as well, so I have found that if I go into the applications tab and open a new task and open/refresh "explorer" everything will start working again.
When I open programs they are slow to respond. I click on the icon but it seems to take for ever to open up but I don't know why.They use to open up fairly quickly before and nothing has changed.
I am experiencing a problem with the XP hibernation. The PC is resuming from hibernation with mouse and keyboard activity instead with the power baton. Almost like a standby mode.
I own a Dell Dimension 8400 system. I recently tried to download the Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility for the chipset from the Dell support website. As the installation of the software was completing, the computer froze and I turned it off. Now, when I reboot, the mouse and the keyboard aren't recognized after Windows XP loads. The mouse and keyboard do work before Windows XP loads.
I am working on a friend's PC and have encountered a problem related to the mouse and Keyboard being inoperative in Windows. The machine is a Dell E-310 with 3.0Ghz processor, 512 Meg RAM, XP Home and USB Keyboard and mouse. The machine boots into Windows and reaches the login screen OK. However, the Mouse and Keyboard are completely inoperative leaving the system stuck at the login screen. The Keyboard works fine when the machine is booted into the BIOS setup menu. I also booted the machine using a Knoppix CD and both the Keyboard and Mouse work perfectly in Knoppix. This seems to rule out any hardware issues and points to Windows as the culprit. Dell did not provide a CD with the Windows installation disk so I am kind of stuck on the problem at this point. The machine is past its Dell warranty date.
A buddy of mine is having problems with his PC. He said when he turns it on it seems to boot up fine (lights on case work) but his screen, mouse and keyboard are not working. Now Im assuming that all those burning out at the same time is next to impossible. I think it might have to do with the PC itself. I have yet to try a different screen and such just to make sure. Also if infact trying another screen fails i obviously will not be able to look in his bios, which leaves me kinda stumped.
When my cpu spikes my mouse movements get jerky esp when hard disk is going then it can move around a bit by itself. Keyboard also have a delay between typing and the letters appearing on the screen.
