Hey All!
So I've been having a problem that recently sprouted up within the past week and a half.
My keyboard has the tenancy to suddenly go out. It will do so for 1-4 seconds and then comeback online. The thing is the Mouse does not suffer this effect, another device that sometimes gets influenced by this is my Scarlet Focusrite 2i4
The 2i4 for quite some time has had some strange issue where it will suddenly just bug out and shut down. Not sure why it does this, and Focusrite isn't sure either, so shy of sending my unit in (which I dont really wanna do because its so random and strange there is no obvious pattern). However, it will completely glitch out if I plug to many items into the system.
This over time has lead to my conclusion that maybe my motherboard's power delivery on the USB isnt holding up anymore (the board is an LGA1150 Z170 that was bought a couple years ago. Roughly 2013-2014). It was originally running on a CX750 and later upgraded to a G2 1000 Supernova by EVGA.
I have yet to clean the ports but they should be pretty clean still, I do keep good upkeep on this machine, so its leading me to believe 1 of 3 things:
-The motherboard may have potentially limited or reduced USB power capacity.
-My keyboard is starting to fritz out for some particular reason.
-My focusrite is overdrawing power now for some reason and causing more issues.
I figured I'd get a second opinion or someone who's a bit more versed in this sort of a subject, while I know a lot about hardware, there basically is no indication to me that would make such symptoms.
The Keyboard goes out without warning at infrequent randomness, the Focusrite is an unknown variable, and the Motherboard is a 320 mobo, so I'd hope that its not a problem and it isn't showing issues elsewhere.
So, Im at a loss. Anyone care to chime in?
