Vista - weird keyboard problem

**eldergolfer21** · 07-07-2009

i recently bought an amd 940 and everything works fine except when i want to play games. for some reason my keyboard does not want to respond correctly. for example, i will start walking forward...still holding "w" and all the sudden i stop. i am still holding "w" down but not going anywhere. i have to let go and press it again but it continues to happen. this happens with all directional buttons as well.

problem exists in every game from crysis to halo and a few in between

now this sounds like a stupid problem from just getting a new processor but it had NO problems with my amd 7750.

sounds stupid but i could use some help

Hello eldergolfer21,
Can you list your system specs, thanks.

**eldergolfer21** · 07-12-2009

everything is at stock speeds. this problem only came about once i put the cpu in. i have not reinstalled vista of anything...i dont think that would help tho.

wiped everything off my hard drive, reinstalled vista, updated bios and still have this stupid problem!!!

is your keyboard wireless? mine does that sometimes cause it is wireless

**eldergolfer21** · 07-14-2009

Want kind of wireless keyboard do you have? Are there specific drivers available for download from the manufacturers website?

i knew i should have mentioned that...

its a microsoft oem keyboard and mouse

is it possible at all to have some MINOR defect in the processor or motherboard? i only had the processor for less than 30 days so i can exchange it(cant refund). like i mentioned before, i did NOT have this problem with my 7750. im not really planning on going back to that though

have you tried to download the driver software from micro$oft yet and see if that helps with the issue.

yes...the wierd thing is that this ONLY happens for games. i can sit here hold down any letter all day long, but when i am playing a game that is when it messes up. my movement stops even though i am still holding the key down. when i tried to play halo it did say something about not having enough memory, even though i have 4 gigs running 5-5-5-15 2T @ 1066
