Help with keyboard and mouse.
Hey everybody! Hope you're doing well :D 
I've recently bought a new graphics card, thinking that it would fit into my small pc. It didn't, so I took my psu, cpu, hard drive and ram out of the pc and put it on another motherboard and case which has more room. However, although everything is working good, the mouse and keyboard randomly stop working. The light for the mouse is working but it's unresponsive! I can't see lights when pressing cap lock, num lock and scroll.
The RAM is from 2 different makers, I read somewhere that you shouldn't do this. Is this why this is happening? Do I have to reinstall drivers for a new motherboard? Thanks in advance guys!

So my pc is a lot better, it only overheats on big games. Idle 50 and full load 70 still.
It works in like pulses, fan toes quiet for a bit, then loud, then quiet, then loud. By loud I mean only around 2000rpm, still very quiet. I guess you were right about just messing around with the settings. Thank you so very much.
Do I end the thread or..?

Perhaps I should change the fan, could you recommend one? A powerful one which is quiet and not as expensive. My socket is AM2/AM2+.
Thank you so much.

Alright so I set the full load temp and idle temp, however it doesn't change a thing. I set it to:
Idle:50
Full load:70
However it passes 70, and doesn't change the speed (1500rpm).

All I can suggest is play with the temps to find out what they do. Usually the full load temp is the temp at which the fan spins up to 100%. The idle temp is usually the temp that the system trys to keep the system at. BUT this is what they usually do and no guaranty that it is the same on your system.

My case is really basic! It has no places that I know of.
And I'm really unsure about the smart fan temps, I don't get it, do I set them to be high or low? Sorry if this seems noobish, could you recommend the settings please?

I suggest if your case has fan mounting point/s adding a case fan/s to increase air flow through the case.

Have you tried to adjust the Idle temp and full load temp in smart fan in the Bios to see if this will allow the fan to adjust itself better?

I would like it if the BIOS had more options, instead of it being 1500rpm until it hits a high temp then goes straight away to 7000rpm. There is never anything inbetween.

I do not have a case fan no, and I don't think speedfan is affecting it because I look at the BIOS temperatures.
There is no dust in the cpu cooler, that is for sure.
The wiring could be a problem yes.
I have not overclock or increase voltage.
And all of my fans are working properly.
I'll check the wires when I come home tonight, thank you for your fast response.

OK then lets look at other causes for it being so hot. Do you have a rear exhaust case fan? possibly even a front? These are important for bringing in fresh air in to the case. Also try uninstalling speedfan and retry the smart fan to see if it will speed up the fan with out speedfan trying to control anything.

Have you cleaned out the dust from the CPU cooler? I would imagine you have but this will cause the cooler to not be as efficient. Just use some compressed air to blow it out. If there is any dust bunny's in the system clean them out too. Also be sure the air intakes are clean so fresh air can freely enter the case.

Make sure all the wiring in the PC is tucked as far out of the air flow path as possible. Air flow path is from bottom front to top rear of the case.

Have you OCed the CPU at all? or maybe adjusted the CPU voltage up? These create extra heat.

Be sure all case fans and PSU fan are working properly. Some prebuilt systems use the PSU fan as an exhaust fan. This is not a good way of doing exhaust but works under ideal conditions.
