i have this computer that kills your keyboard. i plug everything in right, put a new hard drive into it, and it doesn't start up. there is nothing, then when you plug the keyboard into another computer, keyboard doesn't work. my 1st question is why? why does it kill it? keyboards have no memory, so how can it kill it? i put the same hard drive and keyboard into another computer, and keyboard doesn't work. i switch hard drives and it still doesn't work. how can that happen? my 2nd question is what would make it kill the keyboards? can't be a virus, as they can only be saved to hard drives, right? i switched hard drives and it still doesn't work. so wtf is going on?
A friends power supply went and the keyboard was affected for some reason
there is probably a short circuit somewhere .have you tried more than one functional keyboard with this same computer? try a used one that you know is good. if it works then it's the keyboard not hte computer.
First off are there any beeps when you boot your computer up? The computer is not killing your keyboard Have you tried a different keyboard on your computer? To me it sounds like you need to get a new keyboard cause this one is broken.
wtf are people talking about? it's obvious that your motherboard is not regulating the voltages correctly. there could also be something metalic which is shorting out the keyboards (which you can return and get a refund for)so check the slot that you put them into. try to use a USB keyboard insted, maybe that might work.
If you have a short inside your power supply, you could be supplying your 5v lines with 12v. This could easily fry any 5v component, including your keyboard. Keyboards are not just a bunch of buttons, they do have logic circuitry inside of them. If the logic chip gets fried, the keyboard dies. A short like this could happen elsewhere in the system too, but the power supply is the most likely culprit. Out of curiosity, what brand is the power supply in the keyboard killing machine?
