Keyboard keeps disconnecting
I have searched intesively for a solution to this problem, but no thread quite helped it. I have and older custom build gaming pc that has slowed down lately. I reinstalled windows (clean instalation) and it worked for a while and now it slows down again ( startup is really slow for the ammount of programs installed on the pc) . My problem is that sometimes my wired keyboard randomly disconnects, lagging my computer for a brief moment and then it reconnects. If i am in a game after the keyboard reconnects i have to pres the button i was pressing when it disconnected for it to register again ( button remains pressed after the disconnect). Could anyone help me with this.
I have already tried the following
-Change the usb ports to see if it is a usb power shortage ( mouse workes fine on any usb, the keyboard disconnects on any usb)
-Disable the disconnecting for power saving by windows ( in the devices->usb keyboard properties i have about 7 device functions: HID Keyboard device, HID compliant mouse, 2 identical USB Input devices with the exact same location "0000.001d.0000.001.006.000.000.000.000", a HID Compliant consumer control device and a USB Composite device so i do not really know wich one to disable or enable )
As i said the other devices are working properly and i really think this is a software issue because of the huge clog of functions each device has. I perofrmed the windows install under a month ago and everything is up to date. My keyboard is a NateC Genesis A33, with no driver or anything else for that matter. I wonder if it is not a problem from my SteelSeries Rival Gaming mouse as i started to get theese issues since i installed it's drivers. I would preffer to not uninstall the drivers for the mouse as there may be another quicker and easier fix.
