Computer wont boot w/usb plugged in

[Cosmic_Horror]

hi all,

recently upgraded a friend computer with a Jetway V266B motherboard (VIA Apollo KT266A) and an Athlon XP 2000+, we are finding that it doesn't always boot properly... but it seems to work with the usb perpherials unpluged.. the chipset is a VIA KT266A..

has anyine come across this problem before and know of a fix? 🙂

thanks in advance

1. Powersupply issue?
2. BIOS update?
3. just a bad motherboard?

When you say it does not boot properly, do you mean post? Or do you mean boot to windows?

well the case and power supply are both new and it is only running a new hard drive, 512mb of ram, ati 9200 video card .

the bios is the latest for this motherboard

it doesn't post.. it flashes up the ram and stops.. so orginally we thought it was a ram issue but after 4 different sticks of ram we beleive that it is a motherboard.

I remeber early Via chipsets having issues with USB and was wondering if anyne could remember a fix? 🙂

thanks
