Is it a USB keyboard/mouse? Have you tried a different
KB/Mouse? Try this: When you're booting up press F8
after the POST (or after the system logo screen stops
showing. Keep hitting it until you see a scrren that
gives you the option of booting into safe mode. Choose
that. When you're system starts up (if you can get there)
reinstall mouse/KB from the mmc.
