USB Mouse problems with new Motherboard

[albert3801]

I've just replaced the motherboard on my computer and while it was all working fine at first after 2 days it's exhibiting some weird behaviour with my Microsoft USB Optical mouse.

From a cold boot the mouse will not be recognised by Windows (neither Win98SE nor Win2000 - dual boot) will recognise the mouse and it doesn't light up fully - only very dimly as it is before windows loads. If after Windows has loaded I unplug and re-plug the mouse into the USB port then it lights up and Windows instantly sees the mouse. Exactly the same behaviour in both Win98 and Win2000. Subsequent warm boots / in and out of Stand by mode etc no problem. It's only from a cold boot that this happens.

Is it likely to be a motherboard problem or is it just my mouse dying?
Any ideas?

Found answer to my own problem. BIOS option "Park USB device". Disabling this fixed the problem.

i'm having a similar problem with USB mouse. However it does it randomly. Doesnt matter whether its cold boot or not. Does it during normal use, gameplay, and just sitting there.
Mobo is a MSI K8N Neo (MS-7030). I checked in bios, i dont have a park usb device option.

I'd suggest trying a different USB port to see if something is up with the one you are using - or even trying a different mouse.

Different mouse seems to have fixed it. Whew! thought i might have a mobo defect for a while there!
