Tech Talk / Re: Strange new PC problem

Quote from: steve58 on Yesterday at 08:38:27 AMSince the KVM and USB switch are common to both systems, I'd try swapping them out, one at a time.

You mean by trying a new switch?

KVM switches that have the audio and peripheral support I need and that support 4K are rather expensive. If there are any other troubleshooting suggestions before I incur the expense, I'd prefer to exhaust those.

I don't think the USB switch is the problem since it is the mouse and keyboard that don't get detected and which are plugged directly into the KVM. The USB switch is plugged into the KVM too, by the way, and it is connected to my HOTAS, rudder pedals, etc. I will say that the USB switch is somewhat new and perhaps that is causing a conflict!?  :headscratch:

Tech Talk / Strange new PC problem
Last post by Jarhead0331 - Yesterday at 08:24:06 AM
My main work station is powered by two separate rigs - a 12th generation i9 with a 3080ti and a 14th generation i9 with a 4080. The 3080ti is connected to 3 monitors. The 4080 is connected to a single monitor and a VR headset.  The two rigs share the main monitor and all peripherals (ie. mouse, keyboard, HOTAS, etc.) through a KVM and USB switch. More specifically, the mouse and keyboard are plugged into the KVM switch, which has two lines that plug into each computer allowing me to switch between the two rigs. The system worked flawlessly for many months until a few weeks ago.

The problem first started with the 4080. When I powered it up, it stopped detecting the mouse and keyboard on start up. I was eventually able to solve the problem by unplugging the KVM line into the 4080. Once plugged back in, the computer detected the mouse and keyboard and everything works. However, when shutting down, and rebooting, the problem started coming back with greater frequency and now its pretty steady.

This morning, I powered up the 3080ti and had the same problem! I've never had it with the 3080ti before today. The problem was solved the same way, by unplugging the KVM line from the 3080ti and plugging it back in.

Any ideas what could be causing this, or how to troubleshoot it? Its not a show stopper, but having to crawl under my desk to unplug the lines each and every time is getting to be a real pain in the ass.  :knuppel2:

Thanks.

I gotta admit, Le Prince Noir is a much cooler sounding title than The Black Prince.

That's one way to drink your scotch.  Tried watching the playthrough but the guy was rambling on about his high school history teacher while showing random possible moves around the map.  Does any reviewer actually stick to stuff we want to see/hear?

I can already hear JD snorting in Scotch. (And Yskonyn in.... wait, I thought he was Dutch but maybe he's Belgian? Because if so he'd already be in French!)

Anyway, I've been keeping an eye on the Crown Wars: Black Prince, too.

2023 Falcons were never going to be realistic, due to the training needed for flight and combat, and needing quite a bit of coddling on the ground. If I recall the realistic timetable correctly (which I might be mis-remembering), getting them now would be a few months earlier than expected, so  :ThumbsUp:

I would suppose Russia's focus against them will be going after the runways and ground support they need.
