Screen Freezes when holding down a key
I just made a new PC with a buddy of mine, obviously with Vista Home Edition
on it. The problem is that when I hold any key down the screen freezes, sometimes after 2 seconds and sometimes after 10 seconds and anywhere in between, but only for as long as I hold the key down. If I move the mouse during this it will reappear where it should, so its like only the screen stops. Also, if I hold the key long enough the PC will make that monotonous beep noise (not from the speakers, the box itself), and my mouses buttons get reassigned to weird things. For example, the scroll wheel always gets reassigned to changing text size. I first noticed it when I played Unreal Tournament for the first time. I was just holding the 'w' key to move forward and the screen froze. Then I exited the game and reproduced the problem at the desktop. The keyboard I have is some generic old gateway keyboard, its ps/2. As far as I know the drivers on it are up to date and everything. I've updated drivers on everything. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. Post 1 of 6 | Back to top
