I'm having problems with the Q6600 and my evga680i m/b it works great with a E6600 core duo but with the Q6600 (and a 3.4 P4D dualcore) it plays up while playing games keys don't respond or do the wrong thing I have reloaded xp and vista several times does not make any difference anyone have any ideas ? anyone have this config and NO probs?
I think u must flash new bios for Q6600 if u not done it by your slef never i dont recomend u done it take it down to yourb store where u buy computer they will flash it and they u go your problem is solved
Yeah it is, do you have any other motherboard to try it on? maybe your keyboard is not working right?
tried three ps2 keyboards and two usb all had the same probs got everyone here mistified and they are all pretty good techs evga are no help at all mircosoft released a patch for the core duo fault and intel have updated that but it hasn't fixed this particular problem beginning to think it's the motherboard rather than the chip so waiting for a customer to order a striker and i'm gonna try it in that but it's not just the games , it just notices more in games cos the keyboard takes more of a hammering does sillies just in windows also
pcrepair, this only happens when playing games but not browsing the net or word proccessing or whatever? have you check game sites for patches, updates & faqs?
it sounds like its all the time, but gaming makes it more noticeable. I can only presume your chipset is glitched in some manner. Not sure how to resolve that though, googling doesn't tell me much.
