K7S5A won't POST with wireless PS/2 mouse

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.elitegroup (More info?)

I bought this small IR keyboard (with integrated mouse):

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProd [...] 23-107-114

The IR transceiver has two PS/2 plugs, one for the mouse and one for the
keyboard. However, when I attach it to my K7S5A it won't POST unless I
remove the mouse plug. I have tried it with my other GigaByte motherboard
and it works fine. Any ideas?

Thanks Eric, I was thinking about that. I just wanted to check if there were
any solutions that didn't involve spending money. :-)

The thing is, it will not POST, which means it's a hardware issue. It may be
something to do with the arrangement of cards I have in the machine, or
maybe its because I have an early version of the board. Who knows!

Good idea. I'll try that. Thanks.
