    Had to switch USB ports around today. Playing Musical USB Ports is not fun.

    USB mouse/keyboard cutting out & failing

    Thankfully BSOD's are gone now that I have the new mobo in, but that tool is good to know.. thanks for that. Also I put the old PSU back in since it didn't fix my problem.. :) edit: and just had a failure again.. mouse light flashes 3 times and holds on the 3rd time for 1 second, then repeats...

    USB mouse/keyboard cutting out & failing

    I have the same problem regardless of PSU. The OCZ I got in 2011 and has been working fine, so I replaced it with the Seasonic but it didn't help. I still have the same problem.

    USB mouse/keyboard cutting out & failing

    Hi all, About a month ago, my wired Logitech G5 USB mouse stopped working. After a reboot, it started working again - but then would slowly start cutting out (the DPI switcher light on the top of the mouse would start cutting in and out, until finally it would just go dead). I switched USB...

    Gigabyte P35 Motherboard Thread

    Hey all, I'm troubleshooting a problem I thought was a HD issue (hard lockups, slow HD loading) on my Asus P5B Deluxe, but i've since replaced the HD with a new one and I'm still having the same issue. so I ran out to Fry's and got an open box GA-P35-DS3L and some new RAM to see if that was...

    Hard lockups with new X-Fi ExtremeGamer

    Hey guys, Yeah the Raptor was definitely the issue. I replaced it tonight and I'm back up. And I'm all backed up as well. :) X-Fi is in and sounding beautiful. Thanks for the help guys..

    Hard lockups with new X-Fi ExtremeGamer

    ugh.. man this sucks. So I took all these lockups as a sign to get my data backup going again (I've been lagging on that), so I started that last night at 10pm and apparently it locked up at night and restarted because when I woke up this morning, i was at my login screen with no apps running...

    Hard lockups with new X-Fi ExtremeGamer

    ack... it just locked up while web surfing. some noise came out of the computer.. some squealing sound. might be signs of a failing HD?

    Hard lockups with new X-Fi ExtremeGamer

    @humanure: I have an 8800GTS 512MB (2-slot card) and only have 1 PCI slot free, so that's where the x-fi is. @SphinxnihpS: i've had creative cards since the soundblaster days and haven't had any problems until now. i figured 3 years after release they'd have worked out the issues with...

    Hard lockups with new X-Fi ExtremeGamer

    thanks NoelS. yeah I've been reading about lockups with the X-Fi and was hoping that someone else had an Asus P5B Deluxe and an X-Fi and could speak to any problems they have, if any. so far, no lockups with the old Audigy. Computer was on all night (as usual). Did some gaming as well with no...

    Hard lockups with new X-Fi ExtremeGamer

    Hey all, Having hard lockups lately, about 3 weeks after installing an X-Fi ExtremeGamer, so I'm assuming it's the X-Fi.. I'm on XP SP2. One time I heard some random squealing that didn't last for more than a second, but it was definitely not normal. First time I hard locked, I was...

    My Amazing 8800GT Deal!

    yeah it's rare that Best Buy would beat any other online retailers right now.. i was considering getting one (with the 12% coupon), but I have an eVGA and plan to step up to an 8800GT shortly.. just sucks that I have to step up to the slowest clocked 8800GT.. :(

    Upgrade for playing Crysis

    you're definitely going to need another 1GB of RAM, but it's cheap. as for the card, if you can swing the $250-$275, I'd go with the 8800GT. on my E6850 @ 3GHz and my 8800GTS 320 (which is slightly slower than the new 8800GT, sadly), I was getting 15FPS at 1680x1050 and all settings on...
