i'm more or less sure that the sound card and uh...donno what its called...but you connect your mouse and keyboard to it =) Anyway, i'm pretty sure they have nothing in common, but never the less, I will ask to be 100% sure =)
i got a new soundcard, and installed it. as far as i know, i'm pretty sure i didn't alter anything else. i did disconnect all my wires, moved my comp out, opened it up put the soundcard in a pci slot closed it back and connected everything (on a side note, i did reformat right before this, but the reformat was successful and everything was ready to go)
after putting my soundcard in, i set my speakers up and then reconnected everything. At first when i booted up my comp, it got Keyboard error or not present, press f1 to continue.
of course that got a wtf out of me. but i disconnected my keyboard and plugged it back in, pressed f1 and well it continued to load. Then, I got into windows and no keystrokes or mouse movement/clicks were being recognized. I restarted and it got to keyboard error or not present, so i tried pressing f1 but it wouldn't work this time.
After that, I switched them, because i was afraid i may have mixed them up even though they're color coded
and it loaded up fine, but nothing was recognized.
so i switched it back (to match the colors properly) and it got back to the Keyboard error or not present.
any ideas?
maybe this should go under accessories, but considering i just installed a soundcard, i donno if it has anything to do with it or not
i'll check replies in the morning, so please excuse me if i don't reply =)
