Can't solve this one.
EP8RDA+ with ATI Radeon 32 SDR Video card, 512 stick of 3200 Corsair XMS, 1.4 Athlon.
Bios Flash 12/02/2002, had some problems with Video drivers but resolved them. XPSP1A
Running fine on XP Pro
Installed Norton Firewall 2001 (oops, not XP compliant)
Tried to uninstall, Tried to uninstall using Cleansweep ( not so good)
F*ck it, backed up pics, documents and formatted drives.
Fresh install of XP, XPSP1A, latest drivers from ATI Video, Latest drivers from Epox for the 8RDA+.
Boots up but when it's restarted normally, all PS2 devices (mouse & keyboard) are frozen.
Hard reset, boots up works fine.
Normal restart or normal power down, upon rebooting, all PS2 devices (mouse & keyboard) are frozen.
Hard reset, boots up works fine.
Consistent pattern.
Raze the drives to smoldering ruins. Fresh install of XP, reload all latest drivers. This time loaded Video drivers and Epox drivers first before XPSP1A
Normal restart or normal power down, upon rebooting, all PS2 devices (mouse & keyboard) are frozen.
Hard reset, boots up works fine. (Damn!)
Wipe out the drives, Fresh install of XP, XPSP1A, latest drivers from ATI Video, Latest drivers from Epox for the 8RDA+.
Flash new Bios 3.13 from EPox. Now I lost internet connection and only boots from HD.
I assume the XPSP1A has the correct USB 2.0 drivers? The PS2 devices do not respond on a normal boot up. They only work on the hard reset.
What now? What's in the BIOs that's causing this. It all started after the messy removal of Norton Firewall. Each time the drives are formatted I would think I'm starting fresh.
Next step is to go back to previous Bios version but don't know where to go from there.
Any thoughts?
