Problem with the computer

[RogerProkop]

There is a problem with my computer. Every time I connect a USB-wireless keyboard or mouse, it starts to bug out a few hours later. When I would use them, they would freeze frequently. I know it is not the keyboard and mouse because I have tried over 5 different keyboard/mouse combos, all of which had begun to freeze. I also tried them on a different computer, and they worked perfectly. I built the computer myself, and the components are in my signature. I hope someone can help me out because I am currently using a wired keyboard and mouse, both of which are extremely uncomfortable in my setup.

Windoze may be turning the devices off because it thinks they're idle. Try opening the Device Manager and for all the keyboard, mouse and USB ports, check the Properties to see if Power Management--Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power is Enabled. If so, uncheck the box to disable it. It boggles my mind to think that some idiot programmer thinks that this setting should be enabled by default.
