Title: G80-1838HPU/01 Trouble
Post by: ApocalypseMaow on Sat, 22 March 2014, 22:55:27

So here is my issue... My G80 is connected to a Perixx PS2 to usb and everything works great when typing.

Now when playing a game, after holding W for a few seconds it cuts out... If the hit space to jump, I start moving again but only for a few seconds...

Pulled case off and all connections look great.

HALP!!!

Might be worth trying a different converter — sounds like a converter fault.

Agreed, Try another converter. Cannot see why it should by an keyboard failure.

Try it with a PS/2 motherboard first - just to be sure.

Good idea, if he has one.

I would highly recommend the idinnovations ps/2 to usb (http://www.idinnovations.com/usb%20adaptors.html). I got a couple when there was a groupbuy on here for them. I find them to be the best and don't suffer from frequent reset problem like many others.

I see. The solution is to buy an asus rampage 4 black edition to test native ps/2. or maybe not.

Good, I have an ps/2 adapter that i am satisfied with but I do not remeber the name of the converter.

Nothing wrong with SB! I still have a 2700K kicking! It's a good chip.
