Resolved Question

keyboard being pain in the *** w/ graphics

by Feb 24, 2012 8:14AM PST

I bought and installed a new graphics card yesterday and well now my keyboard is being a pain in the ***.

When ever I type that line that blinks gets all messed up when deleting words or typing too fast.

my productivity sucks now and im going to pull my hair out.

I checked the driver and it says installed correctly.

It is an MSI N520GT MDIGD3
1204 DDR3
PCI Express

Thanks for the help!

Agree that it looks like drivers ...

and suggest you go to this link and download the drivers and re-install them for the card.

If the new drivers do not work or even before trying new drivers check to see that the keyboard is still completely and firmly plugged into its connector (PS/2 or USB as the case may be) as intermittent contact could also cause such anomalies.

Thanks for the help. The strangest thing is that I have done nothing and I am no longer experiencing this issue. I will re-install the driver if this happens again.

Did you use the driver CD with the card?

If so, what tells us this video card is good?

Software was installed, device manager says drivers are installed.

Given the details so far.

It's a bad card. Yes it may not be plugged in firmly, the power supply is not capable of driving it but it all comes back to bad card or drivers. Since I'm not there to try other drivers, it's a defective unit to be sent back.
