Another Possible Cause For LagFreezesCrashesBSODs

Gaming keyboards, gameboards and gamepads.

I'm not having any problems with my Logitech G110 keyboard or my G13 gameboard at present but I've been thinking of upgrading to a G510 so I'll have another LCD to monitor hardware usage and temps while I'm playing (without having to switch back and forth or having extra gadgets on my monitor screen.) So I've been doing my research on the net.

I've run across a lot of people reporting that their gaming devices are causing various lags, freezes, crashes, hangs and BSODs in a number of different games. The consensus seems to be that the game devices' drivers are sometimes conflicting with the games' code on some rigs or problems with some mobo USB implementations and physical connections. It also appears that some games are causing game device driver corruption because many people have been reporting success after wiping the old gaming device drivers and either installing new updates or simply reinstalling their present ones (much the same as with video drivers.)

So, if you're experiencing any of the above problems and using gaming device drivers add yet another possible fix by fresh downloads and installation of the drivers from your manufacturers' web pages.

As with so many problems there are too many variations in PCs out there to narrow it down to a common cause but it won't hurt to add this one to the list too.

Hmmm...Could this be why I have a stable Game?

All my stuff is Logitech and Gaming. :smile: (cept my sound card)

Z-5500 Digital Speakers 500 w RMS (Asus xonar D2 ) 5.1
G-3 Gaming Mouse<< this svcker is OLD....Scrolled about 10 miles and about 10 million clicks...hahah
G-15 Gaming Keyboard
G-25 (Gaming Steering Wheel) OK so I don't just Play Skyrim :smile: )

So every Driver is ...you guessed it Logitech. All plays very nice together , Game runs smooth and I don't have the Issues a lot seem to have. ? If anything needed replacing I would ONLY consider buying Logitech.

This stuff is not new. Most of this played Oblivion for 5 years.

Always been the same for me too but I feel for all the people whose posts I read. Happily many were able to correct their problems by reinstalling their drivers. It's just not an issue that would normaly pop into your head if you're having these sort of problems. Check out the Logitech and gamer forums. For myself I've always been very lucky with Beth games. ( With too many mods active however I usually run into some issues!)
