KT266a and USB problem

[jonny13]

I have built two athlon systems in the last two months and both have problems shutting down with a USB mouse plugged in. I don't know if it is just with a mouse or anything plugged into the USB. When I go to shutdown it powers down and immediately powers back on. The same thing happened with two different boards from different manufactures. One was a ECS and the other was a DFI. It didn't happen to start with, so I am thinking it is something with the Via 4 and 1 drivers or something. I don't have the computer here, so I don't know what version I installed, but will find out tomorrow. Any ideas?

does someone have the computer set to turn on when the mouse moves? or the keyboard, or something? There are options for that in many bioses. It shouldn't power back up otherwise, via 4 in 1s don't work when your out of windows.

I checked the bios and everything is fine in there. It wouldn't be something like that anyways, since it doesn't even get the chance to wait for mouse movement, it just reboots immediately. It doesn't happen when I use the PS/2 adapter for the mouse, so it is definitely something with the USB. I will check if it does it with just the printer plugged into the USB and the mouse through the PS/2. Any other people having this problem? There must be others. Thanks for your help.
