Keyboard and Mouse eating up CPU?
-
So I'm on Windows 10, and I'm having a very big problem... Every time there's any input from my Keyboard or Mouse, my CPU usage jumps from very standard levels of 3%-8%, all the way up until it pegs at 100%. Can anyone help? The drivers for both devices have been installed and uninstalled, as the same thing happened either way,
-
What brand/model are they?
-
@nadnerB Saitek Cyborg RAT 7, and Corsair K70. But, I tried a few other mice, including ones that worked with the system yesterday, and they now do it... I can only assume it was the Windows 10 update?
-
That's extremely odd. Sounds very likely to be something to do with the Windows latest update.
-
Are they plugged into one of those USB adapters that plug into the motherboard instead of the ones soldered onto the motherboard?

Both front panel and rear IO panel connectors do it.
-
That kind of stuff is to be expected in early betas. Have you tried another keyboard or mouse?

@IRJ Multiple others tried, everything is doing it now. Motherboard drivers were updated, device specific drivers were installed and then uninstalled when they didn't work, the AMD Chipset has had it's drivers updated... For lack of any other idea, I'm putting Windows 8.1 Pro on this machine.

I hope this was just a VM

@IRJ Nope. It's just an HTPC, and a fresh one at that. Sadly, my main rig died just the other day, so it's my temporary work rig, but I'm not really able to use it, so it doesn't matter much if it's down for a while.

And 8.1 Pro does the same thing... I can only imagine that the onboard chipset is being overly-saturated by the PCI-E add-in card (GTX 660 SC
), and the USB controlling is being handed off to the CPU? -

@IRJ This IS a Mini-ITX system with an AMD A6-6400K in it, so there's not gobs of horsepower :P
