Asus A7V8x-x MB, AMD Athlon XP 2500, 256 DDR RAM, ATI Radeon 9200 Vid Card, 40 MB HD, XP Pro, Netgear USB wireless WG121 adapter.
I was having random reboots and the event log showed that they occured after a DHCP or TCP IP call. I made sure that a virus or worm hadn't snuck in through my firewall and made sure that nothing in my network settings was askew. Thinking that the adapter was the issue, I tried removing it, uninstalling it (including the debris it left in my registry after the software uninstall), updating my bios, and then as a last resort, fdisking the entire harddrive and starting over from scratch.
Well, it no longer reboots for no reason but now the keyboard locks itself and the mouse up anytime I hit a key in Windows. It even locks up in repair mode. There are no conflicts and the bios are the factory defaults. My wireless connection requires a password so I haven't updated to XP SP2 again but I don't think that that is the problem. Any ideas on what could be causing this?
My next effort will include downgrading the bios back to the original version that I had but any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Please help.
