A summary of things, a new system (specs below) was bought a month or so ago. I had installed drivers and games and the like, and for four or five days I had no probz. On turning it on and playing FarCry, I found that when walking and looking with the mouse at the same time, the character would lock and keep moving, sometimes coming right, sometimes becoming useless and having to get out of the game.
I have gone to all ends, I have checked the sticky keys setup, all the bios stuff, a reload of windows XP Pro, Drivers for everything in numerous combinations of versions, including a go with the very latest of everything. Also i have tried like about 6 different keyboards and mice, they all respond the same.
I would like to know perhaps if anyone has ever had their PS 2 port go, perhaps something like this happened. Anything is good.

I have had same problem many times. Since May 2003, during the one-year warranty period, my Asus reseller had to replace my motherboard twice since the keyboard and mouse (ps/2) ports were not working. Even with a usb keyboard plugged in, the machine seems to think a faulty PS/2 keyboard IS in (when it isn't) and hence doesn't bother recognizing the USB keyboard. In May 2004, just before the end of my warranty, it happenned again (unfortauntely I couldnt take this for repairs in time, due to a critical illness of a relative). SO now my A7n8x does not work.
In the cases where they replaced my mboard, they did NOT know what the fault was. They just replaced it.
I strongly suspect that either the A7n8x itself, or the NVidia chipset that it uses, has some PS/2 related flaw. Any ideas anyone?
(This is the first time in almost 10 years of assembling my own machines, that I've had such a headache. My two ABit LX6 and BP6 boards are FINE - using the LX6 right now, 7 years old and doing fine. Didn't expect problems with Asus sinec i rank them with ABit.)
Am desparate for a solution! Couln't find anything on ASUS site.

During bootup, sometimes the keyboard works for a WHILE, enough tiem to go into Bios and make sire thatUSB keyboard/mouse IS enabled. I have tried disabling those as well. In every case, suddenly control of the keyboard is lost. Once the OS actually booted, but my the the time the login prompt came, i had lost the keyboard control, and couldnt do anything; the computer power switch fortunately was wired to shutdown windows gracefully.
Everytime this problem came, I did notice that first for a few days the ps/2 mouse would start behaving erratically in windows; then the keyboard too. Eventually, they seemed to go completely. The same keyboard and mouse works fine in other machines; and other keyboards and mice do NOT work on this machine. It is very clearly a motherboard problem, and very clearly NOT an OS problem because even before the OS starts, just during POST testing for example, the keyboard control is lost.
Sometimes without ANY keyboard plugged in, I STILL hear a CLICK CLICK CLICK noise when the machine starts, like just before or during or just after POST.
