Hi guys,
I got a weird problem where my keyboard and mouse go into a state where I can't type anything and pushing letters results in other miscellaneous actions.
When this happens my mouse cannot open files or folders and instead double-click becomes right-click, the scroll wheel doesn't work either.
I've tried unplugging all USB devices, removing drivers completely. The only thing that fixes it is a system reboot. It happens so randomly, sometimes in game and sometimes just in OS.
Built this rig two years ago, never had such problems before or seen it on any rig for that matter. I've been using the same keyboard (Microsoft Sidewinder) for roughly 6 years.
The only thing I can think of is a problem with the USB ports themselves, though I have tried using both the 2.0 and 3.0 ports but the problem still occurs.
Any idea what's going on ?
