Just as a vague question:
If I am running a 3d app like:
America's Army
BridgeIt
JFK Reloaded
Jedi Outcast
and I hit the keyboard and it crashes, what on earth could be going on?
It used to happen frequently until I replaced my motherboard. The problem stopped. And now it's happening again. To add confusion to this, I find that it happens MOST days - but on some days, it will work perfectly. And note, that if I do not touch the keyboard on a 'bad' day, then everything works fine.
No one I have ever spoken to has the slightest clue as to what is going on. I've often speculated that it might be the video card, but the last person I spoke to reckons it is the motherboard. I am almost certain that I have installed nothing peculiar that might have caused this odd situation.
Most of all the thing that annoys me that it isn't every day that this happens. There are rare days when 3d apps will run perfectly. No combination of settings, no amount of restarting and no 'safe mode' seems to make things run normally on a 'bad' day. I simply have to go to bed and see if it's better in the morning.
I can post the technical specs of my machine (and probably find out the brand of motherboard) if anyone thinks it will help (never has before).
Could this be something mundane, like a dodgy keyboard? I really am desperate for a solution, as this has been happening on and off for 3 years and even replacing hardware hasn't offered a permanent solution.
Thanks in advance.
