I have an Optiplex 740 here with what seems to be malfunctioning USB ports. When the system boots, it says Keyboard Failure. Yet, it boots anyway after a little bit. When XP comes up, after 30 seconds, the keyboard and mouse respond just fine.
I have a 2nd Optiplex 740 here and it seems like the problem is isolated to the one 740 and not the other.
The big red flag to me is when I hit F8 to boot to safe mode and I get the list of options, I cannot scroll through the list with the keyboard. However, F8 worked to bring the screen up...
I'm betting motherboard. But, figured I'd ask here for sake of conversation and 2nd opinions.
Note - The only things I did to the motherboard were removing/replacing the CMOS battery and drained the capacitors.
