SolUniverse Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 does anyone know how to get these things to STOP blinking when NOT in a game? driving me nuts!
SolUniverse Posted June 27, 2014 Author Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) That doesnt do anything All it does is turn off the top left or right led but all the other buttons are still flashing Edited June 27, 2014 by maestro72x
71st_Mastiff Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 mmm mine don't do that. might want to check your USB power levels.. could be a mobo issue. :joystick: "any failure you meet, is never a defeat; merely a set up for a greater come back", W Forbes.

SolUniverse Posted June 27, 2014 Author Posted June 27, 2014 The go solid after the game is running and work fine.. they are plugged into the mb directly
71st_Mastiff Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) The go solid after the game is running and work fine.. they are plugged into the mb directly ok so maybe your USB's are going to sleep. you can stop them from polling like this Control manager/ Device Manager/ find the USB device that your MFD's are connected to by right clicking and reading the properties and the general tab, once you find the right ones, click on power management then un tic the box that says allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

SolUniverse Posted June 27, 2014 Author Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Tried that, doesnt work. and yes they are blinking because of a power issue becuase as soon as they are accessed they stay on solid Edited June 27, 2014 by maestro72x
71st_Mastiff Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Tried that, doesnt work. and yes they are blinking because of a power issue becuase as soon as they are accessed they stay on solid its because your USB/ controller is polling, and causing them to blink. have you checked your MoBo manufactures BIOS support for updates.. or do what I do and just unplug them. I have to because of other games and flight sims I play. "any failure you meet, is never a defeat; merely a set up for a greater come back", W Forbes.

outlawal2 Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Try running them from a POWERED USB hub... You may be over-taxing the USB ports on that machine.. (And I know it is plugged directly to the mainboard, but often the ports on the board are still using the SAME root hub so having items connected to one port can still affect the other ports as well...) bottom line... Try a powered USB hub and you may be OK... "Pride is a poor substitute for intelligence." RAMBO
SolUniverse Posted June 27, 2014 Author Posted June 27, 2014 found this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2900614 all fixed now.. you have to find the proper device and disable the EnhancedPowerManagementEnabled to 0 You will find the device in Device Manager under "Human Interface Devices" its one of the USB Input Devices The easist way i found to identify the device is to unplug all unnecessary usb devices including the MFD's for any USB device that is left go into the "USB Input Device" properties and uncheck"Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" for all remaining devices (you can turn back on later) then plug in the MFD's.. find the 2 USB Input devices that still have the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" checked.. those are the two units were you need to get the Device Instance Path's to find in the registry to disable EnhancedPowerManagementEnabled to 0 I m on windows 8.1
SolUniverse Posted June 27, 2014 Author Posted June 27, 2014 No. not that cuz its on my motherboard and nothing else is plugged in but my keyboard.. its a windows 8.1 power saving issue is all..

Interesting as I have 8.1 and have had zero issues with gaming / usb whatever... I don't particularly like it, but no issues here.. And I have no less than 15 USB items connected to my machine...
