Ok, so heres the original thread I had posted so you know the background:
Ok, here are my specs:
FX-51
Asus SK8V
1 gig Corsair 3200 XMS
ATI 9800XT
Win XP pro
I'm a big Final Fantasy 11 Player, I built this machine for this game, a few months back, and everything has worked fine up until a week or so ago. I noticed in game I would press down the 'E' key to walk forward, and I would start to walk forward then a half second later the game freezes...wierd...kept fooling around with it, if I hold down any key for that matter, 'e' 'esc' '8' etc, any key will lag the game up, I even held down a key for about 40 second, let go, and I had a little "disconnect" symbol next to my name in game meaning I was having network connection issues. I have run adaware/spybot/panda titanium 7. I figured I'd see if it were just this game or not, so I installed Tribes 2, same deal, hold down a key and it lags, however If Im holding down the key, and press another key while still holding the first one, the lag stops...Then, I tired another test in windows, I use Mozilla for my browser, and to the right of the URL box, theres the little "M" that turns into a changing picture of a Dino when a page is loading, in IE its the little Windows flag that waves....anyhow, I wanted to see if I could "lag" windows up by holding a key, so I used Mozilla to test it. I entered a url in the box, hit enter, and quickly clicked off the text box so I wouldn't be typing stuff, and quickly pressed a key (anykey, once again), doing this would "lag" the animation of the little transforuming Dino picture to the right of the URL box, however it does NOT lag up the screen, pages still load and everything, just the little picture of the dino that changes while a page is loading freezes up. I appologize if this was a little hard to understand.
Anyhow, this has led me to believe my ps/2 port is screwed up, I have checked it to make sure no pins broke off in there or anything, all is well on both my keyboard connection, and the port on the mobo. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don't have any USB keyboards laying around so I have a ps2/USB adapter coming to me, but this is just really upsetting me...I can't play games...and it even effects windows. I've also flashed my BIOS to the newest update and still nothing. All your help is GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks!!
Anyhow, heres how I stand now: I'm positive it's not a trojan or virii now, and it's not the ps/2 port. Today I got my Belkin ps/2 to USB adapter in the mail, popped it on, and the same problem was there. I opened my keyboard properties for the 100th time, repeat rate and repeat delay both set in the middle. I opened up Task Manager to the performance tab, and kept an eye on my CPU Usage, I held down any random key and BAM! CPU Usage shot up to 30...50...75...95%!!!!!! Im thinking wow, my god, what in the heck is going on here. I lowered the keyboard properties Repeat Rate and Repeat Delay all the way down to the lowest settings, applied the changes, watched the performance tab, held down a key and CPU Usage only went up to 12% that time.....Now...I ask you...What does this say to you really technical people? Any suggestions? Im monitoring the performance tab right now as I type this, and I type at a pretty decent click. With the keyboard properties still turned all the way down, if I hold down a key like I said it only goes up to about 12% CPU Usage, however as I type this it keeps jumping anywhere from 25% Usage when Im typing more slowly, to upwards of 55% or more when Im typing at my fastest. Nothing else seems to be spiking however, just the CPU Usage.....So, lets here what you have to say...Thanks a ton in advance, Im also in contact with Asus, however I figured I'd see what you all think about this.
