I´m with a problem on my personal computer. I have a pentium 1000 Ghz on Asus CUV-4x Mother Board, and a while ago it starts to present some (ps2)keyboard crashs, but a couple of days ago it crashed completly. a friend of mine, that knows something about computers, told me that the ps2 jack on asus MB was bad and that this is pretty comon with asus MB, and to solve this problem all I really need was to buy an usb keyboard. I did what he told me to do (spent 20 bucks on it), but it didn´t worked.☹ The keyboard works only on DOS and BIOS enviroment, but when the windows 2000 begins to start the computer crashes.:\*( Does anyone have the same problem? does anyone know how to fix it? :q: :q: :q: Plz, I´m going crazy:eye: (-: :crazy: :cyclops: plz, pretty plz ---

go into your bios and disable your ps2 ports so that you computer doesnt look for them when it boots. that may work… ---

may also be as simple as some of the pins on your plug broke, but i would go with using the usb one since you laready have it ---

Hmm, So there is something wrong with your PS2 Why don’t you look at your preferences (right click My computer). Then search your Ps2 and then delete it. Then the drivers for your ps2 are gone. Or just look around there. You might find your error there to… (I think) good luck ---

Allright, then we have a few possibeties 1. have you made a startup diskette? 2. Have you still got the windows CD-Rom? 3. Have you tried startup in safe-mode? ---

I have a PC with an ASUS MB and I have never had problems with the keyboard port not working. When you say it is having problems crashing (ps2 crash) What do you mean? THe keyboard just stops working, but your mouse curser will still move? Also What is stoping Win2k from loading? or does it get to the logon prompt and the keyboard doesn’t work? Just wondering. =) Cheers! -Niann ---

This is a risky one…But I had something similar happen…and I flashed my bios. And reinstalled it. I think it had something to do with my IRQ’s. But flashing the bios got rid of it…You should be very careful when doin this. Could really screw up some stuff. ---

Why don’t you just remove your Ps2 port, and replace it? Or just remove it… BTW: I have checked my bios, but I haven’t found anything usefull… ---

**niann:** it begun with the keyboard ocasional failure on windows, then it evolved to a total failure of the keyboard(except on BIOS). So, the windows cannot start, cause it needs a keyboard to run. **3d-iva & Phil:** I´ll try anything! How do I flash the bios? :q: [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/computer-expert-needed/10058.md?page=2)
