[BUG] power loss to usb input devices

January 25, 2009 6:08:52 AM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

This is a fairly strange bug. I just built a new PC. Phenom II 940, Asus M3A78-T motherboard, 4GB of ram, and an ATI Radeon 4850. I am running the Windows7 beta. Now, I tried playing Demigod with just the IGP on the motherboard, and it worked fine. Then I installed the 4850 and tried running Demigod. My mouse is responsive during the intro screen, but as soon as I hit the main menu my mouse jumps around when I move it, and then I loss all input and the power to my usb input devices goes out (no lights on mouse or keyboard anymore!)

 

Any ideas? This is frustrating

Phenom II 940

damnit, i'm jealous.

 

Windows7 beta.

do you have it dual booting with somthing else (ala. Vista or XP). if so, try it there to rule out the motherboard.

that said; it's likely the first documented issue with DG and Windows7, considering both Windows7 and DG are both still in beta i doubt there'll be much that can be done about this until much closer to release.

may i ask if you've tried this in SupCom (i'd really recommend trying it against SupCom or FA) or any other titles?

 

 

either way; it's still handy for GPG to be aware of.

I am not dual booting. I will try FA at some point and see how it goes. I tried closing down any non-critical processes and it didn't help. Will try some other troubleshooting. And the game and system don't freeze, the fire is still animated and I get sound.

Managed to fix it. I had both my mouse and keyboard plugged into my 2001FPW monitor. Plugging them directly into my computer resolved the issue. Managed to BSOD windows while hot plugging, bug in the usb driver!
