When i press a button on my keyboard nothing happens, however the mobo makes a really loud click(imagine a very loud clock)

I have tried unplugging it and plugging it back in again

Have you tried connecting to other USB ports? Is it plugged on the front of the case? Does it happen with another computer (if you have one?). Do you have another keyboard lying around? Open case and try to hear where the sound came from?

Run through the questions and I think you will have a rough idea which ones is the culprit.

Click to expand...

it's a ps2 not a usb keyboard - that was weird, a usb keyboard had the same effect and a ps/2 mouse generated a beep

after realising none of that made sense i went through the 'IT Crowd' Process

'Have you turned it off and back on again'
'is it definatly plugged in'
'press the button on the front'

as it turned out turning the computer off and back on again fixed it
