BSoD due to Keyboard and Mouse?

[Cyann]

I got the BSoD just after installing XP's Service Pack 3. At first I was not worried, presuming that the error would be easily fixed. After adjusting hardware configurations I pinpointed the problem, my keyboard and my mouse. My first thought was to try another set, however that did nothing to help. If I have them unplugged as Windows loads I get to the profiles screen unscaved, but as soon as I plug either in all I see is blue. Safe Mode isn't bringing much more of a help either; I get exactly the same error each way I tackle it.

It could be my USB ports, however I have had my printer connected through this entire charade and it has never caused trauma.

My specific error code is "Stop:0x000000FC".

If anyone can give me any leads to fixing this problem it would be incredibly appreciated.

Have you tried to update your BIOS to the most recent version?

I had mouse errors with bad RAM with my over clock.

Sounds likely to be a Windows driver problem. Either the USB or keyboard drivers. Have you tried disconnecting everything else from the computer except the power, monitor, keyboard and mouse?

There are many results for this. Just depends on which service caused the crash. Does it give a name like logitech.sys or something like that? If so that is the service that caused the crash and has to be fixed via Safe Mode.

^ Said he can't get into safe mode. I've put SP3 on so many computers I've built now and never had a problem once. Just seems funny so many people have problems.

Also have you tried using the LKGC (Last Known Good Configuration) option?

 

[Cyann]

I've tried LKGC and no luck there. If I turn off USB Controllers in System Setup and then go through the process of booting up with everything plugged in its fine so I am pretty sure I know what the problem is.

Will try updating my BIOS (in the process of learning how , I am kind of new at this, any guidence would be thanked).

They've made it a fairly easy process on newer boards. Just pop a floppy in with the flash files on it and away you go. Some even come with a GUI now.

I don't have a floppy drive...any way to do it from CD?

I have a feeling this problem is out of my depth...

 

[Baez]

No doesn't support CDs at all. Some support USB flash drives though. You could try that.
