I noticed this happening like 3 weeks ago. My G15 sometimes shuts off randomly and restarts. It has happened while I'm playing and while I'm not playing anything. Anyone else ever get this?

It could be your usb itself, have you tried a diffrent port?
it could be drivers?

Sounds an awful lot like a flakey USB ports. The G15 draws a lot of current given that it's a keyboard, a multimedia device, and a passive USB hub. Do you have devices plugged into the G15's ports?
The default behavior of the USB is to have the misbehaving device power itself off and try again whenever it attempts to draw more current than it is allocated or the bus can provide.

Nope not yet but I will plug it into a diff port now.

Nothing is plugged into the G15's ports. If it is flakey USB ports what do I do? Return mobo?

Try the different ports. If possible, try the keyboard in a different PC.

Tried diff ports and it is still doing it. It wasn't doing it on my last PC I built before this one. Something wrong with my mobo? If so I'm just gonna have to get a new keyboard that doesn't use this much power.

Older. I think I'm gonna try a Razer Lycosa. Sucks though cause I really like the LCD to check my CPU and RAM usage.
