Motherboard: Abit AB9 Pro
About a week ago I was attempting to upload some pics from my camera via USB. Something happened, and I got a message saying that there was a power surge through the port or something like that. I somehow still ended up being able to upload the pics, though I also got messages about the device not being recognized and/or malfunctioning. My camera was also acting funky, so I figured the problem was there.
But then I tried printing something about a week later, with no problems in the interim (and no attempts to print) and the same type of messages - device not recognized/malfunctioning, etc. I tried different ports, and managed to get what I wanted printed. I've also been having problems with my wireless adapter, but I've attributed that to it being a free POS from my ISP.
So I did a little research here, and after finding a thread on a similar problem, I opened up my case and reset my CMOS, as well as the USB power jumpers. Now the damned thing doesn't work. It posts, I can get into the BIOS, but I can't get out. It just kinda freezes where it says "Save Changes and Exit Y/N? Y" and is non-responsive to my keyboard (though keyboard works just fine within the BIOS). I've used both USB and PS/1 keyboards for this. If I bypassed the BIOS, it starts to boot Windows, but then just stops and I have a black screen.
Any ideas?
Thanks
