Well, my new rig is in my sig, and Im having a few problems that are minor, but are annoying.

Problem #1 : If I have my steelseries XAI usb mouse plugged in when I start or restart my rig, I get a black screen with a B4 at the bottom right. And it just hangs there for about 3 minutes then boots. If I unplug the mouse, the system starts right up and I can plug it back in and it works fine. Just sucks because I have to do this every time I have to restart.


Problem #2 : This is recent.. my rig would lose internet connection but my router is still showing a flowing connection, and even my wifi is working. Everything is receiving internet except my rig, and I have to restart my rig to get it back.

Problem #3 : I get BSOD randomly. Usually I can pinpoint the problem whether it be RAM or processor or whatever and usually I can replicate the problem and work accordingly. But these happen randomly. One time it happened on startup. One time it happened while just surfing. Then for a week it didnt BSOD at all. Then it bsod randomly during GTA4.


Now, I OC'd my proc to 4.4 at about 1.28v and I ran prime 95 for 10 hrs with no problems. My ram is at 1600mhz with a 1.5ishv ( gotta check for exact)


My current plan is to go back to defaults, install new mobo drivers ( im sure there are new ones over the cd ones ) Anyone help though thanks.
 
For problem #2, are you running your desktop wireless by chance?

For some reason on my desktop wireless card (and this doesn't happen on my Droid or either laptop) I have to set the wireless to be 802.11g or 802.11b and not the auto b/g setting and do the same on the router. I had a very similar problem where it "showed" I had a 54 Mbs connection but nothing would load or transmit.

If its wired, have you tried another cable or another port on the router?
 
I'm wired ... Do you think it could be my psu? It's a 550vx that's in tip top shape, but I do plan on a 750w corsair very soon
 
I am gonna set back to stock and come back, but let it be known that my processor run at 39degrees at idle and prime95 worked for 10 hrs. I'm thinking if 550w is enough for my system, but I'll stock it up and come back
 
There's a bios update for "gaming mouse" compatibility and ram.

I had to bump the ram up to a touch over 1.5 (like 1.52) (using 4 sticks) with it set to 1333

My bluetooth and wireless keyboard/mouse usb dongle add's about a minute to boot while it sorts out the devices, i haven't updated the bios yet.
