Unknown & strange bug from gaming - Fresh x64 7100
Evening everyone,
These forums have always been a great help in solving those win7 issues but have never really had to register, as any problem I had, everyone else did too.
There has been a bug since I have installed x64 7100 that has been slowly getting more and more annoying as I'm getting more free time to play games. It only happens when in 3 games that I can recall so far, Battlefield 2, Counter Strike: Source & Overlord 2.
The problem is thus: Play for anytime between 10 minutes to 2 hours and in any text window this appears "888888888". Now I've managed to find that its infact numpad uparrow seems to get toggled on (if winamp is open, the volume goes up, as if holding down numpad up arrow) The only way to stop it is to restart the computer.
At first when I started to take the problem more seriously I thought there may have been a keyboard driver error. Alas, the problem occured on 4 different keyboards, using different drivers. Then I considered some sort of virus or somesuch, running Kaspersky win7 anti-virus with up to date deifinitions didn't find anything. Last ditch effort was updating Nvidia chipset drivers and even updating the BIOS, but it still did it.
I have not been able to find anywhere on the net or any forums that help me with this problem, which leads to now. This is a fresh format and install running for less than 2 days now and the only things put on here have been keyboard and mouse drivers, creative xfi drivers + console launcher, nvidia 190.38 graphics drivers, kaspersky anti virus, mozilla firefox and steam (hl2 and css).
My last thoughts are that the Motherboard itself has failed in some way and the usb ports are getting a bit squiffy. Does anyone have any other suggestions??
