Keyboard Error - Not Keyboard - Mouse Freezes When Plug in Keyboard

[tommy21pmp]

I get a keyboard error message on boot up whether it is plugged in or not. Once I plug in the keyboard the mouse freezes immediately and the keyboard still does not work. Then I can't do anything and have to restart. I have tried multiple keyboards, none work on this system but they all work on others.

What is going on? I'm sick of using the onscreen keyboard!

What does the error say / when does the error come up / are you using a PS/2 keyboard / have you tried a USB keyboard?

Error comes up immediately in first booting screen whether it is plugged in or not. No I have not tried a USB keyboard. I really want to fix the problem rather than overt it. Error says "Keyboard Error." I just think that it is extremely odd that the mouse freezes from plugging in the keyboard.

These devices are not designed to be plugged in/out while the power is on...you haven't been doing this have you   ? ?
