Hello all,
So I have this really annoying problem with a rig I built recently from (mostly) new parts.
Essentially what's happening is that any USB device I use be it a mouse, keyboard or flash drive cause varying degrees of "stuttering" on the operating system. I've had no other issues other then the USB devices. No random lockups, blue screens or performance related issues.
If I only have the mouse and keyboard plugged in I get an annoying problem where the mouse seems to briefly stop working every once in awhile and then picks up again. Any mouse I use appears to do this.
The keyboard is a back lit keyboard and it also has some strange anomalies. For instance I will be typing away and the keyboard will appear to get stuck on a key, the back light will flash on and off or the keyboard will altogether stop. This is a brand new keyboard that I swapped thinking it might be the issue. The previous keyboard did the same thing.
Things get really bad when I plug in a webcam or flash stick into the computer. The other USB devices really seem to go erratic if I do this. This results in whole lot of stuttering on the OS.
I am thinking this is either a) a faulty motherboard or b) the result of using a cheap PSU.
My finger is pointed at the PSU. It could be under provisioning power to the USB devices but I figure before I go out and replace anything further I would ask and see if there's anything additional I may try.
Here is a list of parts I used to build my new PC.
New parts:
Core i7 4770K
Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H
16 GB RAM
AMD R9 280X GPU
Reused from old computer:
XION 1000 Watt PSU.

I should point out my old rig had none of these problems as well but the power draw was likely significantly less.
