    Hi.
    Im having fairly big problems with my pc.
    1.Problems with input devices.First of all my keyboard stopped working.It would be working one minute and not the next.Fixed this by using a old keyboard and have had no problems so far.
    Then my mouse started playing up.Sometimes id turn on the pc and it wouldnt work at all.Sometimes id turn on the pc and its all jerky ie i go to click on something and the mouse clicker icon moves around a bit (im not touching it).Sometimes its perfect.Any ideas?

    Second problem is when starting up.Sometimes it just wont boot up.Just stays on a black screen.Sometimes it restarts the minute you start up.Its really fursturating.
    Any ideas

    Thanks
    Ash

    The keyboard problem is strange. Try cleaning out any dust between keys. You could buy a can of compressed air or use the vacuum [cover it with a stocking or something to prevent it sucking off the keys and don't get too close].

    As for the mouse, if it's a mouse with the ball underneath, unscrew the circular cover off it [turn anti-clockwise] and clean the ball in a cloth. Look at the little plastic bars inside the mouse. Remove any grime off them. Replace the ball and cover. This usually fixes the problem.

    Keyboard is working now but not our good one.
    The mouse is a laser mouse.Its working at the minute but wasn't last time i turned on the pc.Its strange.Almost as if it doesnt have enough power.Iv tried a ball mouse and stantard old mouse connection but was still having problems.
