NF7-S: When running 220MHz-FSB USB Mouse doesn't work sometimes! :)

Hi,

just a bit of feedback. I encountered my first niggle with my new system.
About once a fortnight when I boot the PC my new MS-intellimouse doesn't
work. If I do an immediate restart all is well. I guess this is a side
effect of running a above spec FSB. I still didn't around to mounting a
heatsink on my Southbridge, but I suspect heat isn't a problem as the
machine is just booted when the problem begins (so Southbridge is fairly
cool).

SATA is working well as is the SoundStorm audio which are both Southbridge I
believe. I still don't have any fire stuff to test that yet. . .

Anyway no big deal, just thought I would share my observations.

Is'nt there an undocumented jumper for 'wake with mouse'?. Does the red
laser under your mouse go out when you switch the machine off, or does
it stay on?

Just a suggestion but do you have another PC you can use the mouse with
for
a couple of weeks to see if the problem remains. Also have you tried
re-installing the drives.



Hi David,

thanks for suggestions. Hmmm I never considered there may be a small
problem with my new MS USB mouse. I suspect the (tiny, tiny) problem may be
due to running the NF7-S FSB @220Mhz, but as I said it happens very rarely.
If I run the FSB @200MHz all is fine. As for re-installing drivers, I don't
use any drivers for the MS mouse except what is built into WinXP Pro SP1.
The two times I booted into XP and had no mouse there was no LED at all
shining out the intellimouse, like it wasn't receiving power, I tried to
remove the USB connector from the back of the P.C and then re-plug it in to
see if windows would pick it up, but no?. A quick restart and bingo its
back. Right now I am writing this post on my NF7-S with FSB 220MHz and its
working flawlessly, so as I said before this isn't what I would call a
problem, just like to share experiences with the rest of the group. .

cheers,

I am having similar mouse/keyboard both USB issues. But I need to work on a
few things before I comment.
I was having trouble before I started upping the #,s.

Hi,

just to confirm, my set-up works 100% flawless when running at stock 2500+
speeds and also overclocked 3200+ speeds (2.2GHz), the niggle only seems to
appear @220Mhz which is above the supported speed of the NF7-S. . .I too
need to test a few things out myself to remidy this but have been very busy
with my other career(photographer).

Hello,

I haven't had enough time running with this box to sort everything out and
the overclocking and XP (new OS) for me is making my head swim. Like you
have to earn a living and run a business (manufacturers rep for process
equipment) I am having some USB/PS2 problems. Seems the PS2 isn't working
but USB is. I have a wireless USB board and mouse one will work and the
other won't. I am tempted to reinstall XP It doesn't appear my SATA drivers
were installed and a clean install may clear up my other connection
problems.

Aspired to be a photog myself. Actually went to college and majored in it.
200 plus weddings ruined me :). Still have the speed graphic except for my
Nikon 995 all the rest has been sold or is junk.
