My keyboard and mouse quit working, even after rebooting a couple of times. I cleared the CMOS and now it gives me "check sum error and wrong video settings", and the kb and mouse still dont work. I cleared the CMOS and even installed a new battery, but cant get the kb or mouse to work so I can enter setup in the bios. Any hope?!

Try a different keyboard. If still no go sounds like your mainboard is shot.
If doing ps/2 ports make sure the keyboard is in the keyboard port not the mouse port.

I agree with Wanderer. It sounds like the PS2 controller on the motherboard is dead.

Thanks for the help. Thats what I thought it was too. I did try two different kb and mice w/o any luck. Im glad its just an extra computer for the kids(#4).
