I'm wondering if this 11 year old keyboard is a) faulty, b) not liking 3.0 ports, or c) shouldn't have been plugged into "Fatality" mouse port. I have moved the keyboard to a normal 3.0 port. while it is listed as a 3.0 port, i wonder if there's something different about it.

Well that is the port the keyboard was plugged in to. One of the 3.0 ports is what they call the "Fatality Mouse Port" - some gimmicky thing Asrock came up with. so it is the one constant in this.Īnother thing is that this motherboard has four 3.0 ports on the back, and two 3.1 ports. I stated I'd removed all the USB devices, i did not remove the keyboard because I figured I'd need it for input. I recall having seen this in one of the previous failures. Even stranger was when when I did the forced shutdown, the power on the PC is now off - no fans, lights, etc, but the keyboard stayed on anyway. This time, when the PC went to its "sleep" - the keyboard stayed on, and not only that but the lights on the keys were flashing wildly, as if with an electrical problem, and the LED screen did too. I have an 11 year old Logitech G15 keyboard. Upon the PC attempting to Sleep, windows went down as it should, then the same thing.

I should mention this problem is somewhat intermittent. It's as if the PC is off in every way except power. When it does this, all I can do is press & hold the power button to shut it off fully. I've tried unplugging all USB devices (except keyboard), no luck. I've gone over power settings both in the BIOS and in Windows.

This also happens when I put the PC into Sleep mode. It will start up perfectly fine every time. It does not appear to be in any kind of sleep or hibernation mode, keystrokes nor mouse will wake it.At this point I can press & hold the power button to fully shut it off.

but the PC itself stays fully powered, fans running, power light on solid, and all mobo LED's lit. When I shutdown the PC, Windows will shutdown, the monitor goes black and loses signal as it should. Everything is working fine, except for this odd power issue.
