Driver install problem with X360 Wireless controller receiver for win7
First off, I know how to install the drivers as done in this guide. It has worked perfectly for three months, but when I sat down to play today it didn't work. The controller disconnects and won't reconnect.
I have installed and uninstalled, disconnected and reconnected, tried different controllers. Hell, I even reinstalled windows. Sometimes when I reinstall the drivers (in Device Manager) it tells me "the device can't start" and other times it works and is listed correctly. Whenever I reinstall the drivers and the device is listed correctly, after five seconds it shows up as an unknown device under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers". Sometimes the receiver works for a couple of minutes before disconnecting again, pushing me closer and closer to the edge of insanity.
At first I thought it was the receiver gone fubar, but I tested it on several other computers and it worked perfectly. What is going on with my computer? Can anyone help me out at all?
EDIT: I recently moved to the other side of the country. Could the computer have been damaged? If so, why would this be the only issue?
