Alright so I've been using a PS/2 keyboard forever, never owned a USB one until now. I purchased a Saitek Gaming Keyboard (the extra number pad is NOT attached.) and began using it.

Wonderful keyboard. But the problem is my USB mouse (which is connected to PS/2 via an adapter, and has worked flawlessly since I got it.) only works half the time.

By half the time, I mean it it works until I reboot, then doesn't work. Then if I reboot again it works. So it works every-other reboot. And by "doesn't work" I mean the thing doesn't even light up like it has power, and certainly doesn't move the cursor.

This to me makes no sense, it seems to me that it should work every time, or not at all since the boot process is identical every time.

Any suggestions? (Note that this problem has persisted through a complete Windows reinstall.)
 
I'd check for a new bios version. Something like that is most likely firmware related.
