Have you tried reinstalling Windows with a totally different keyboard and not plug in your quickfire at all? My quickfire sometimes has issues being detected by Windows but a quick replugging of the mini-USB to the KB itself fixes the issue, nothing that would cause my Windows to not boot up though. There seems to be a problem with the mini USB sockets on these keyboards.
Issues with Cooler Master Quickstorm CM on my AMD systems

I wonder if it's a Catalyst 13.8 glitch. I've tested this with a HD 7750, HD 5570, and integrated HD 4250 and they all do this.
I've tried that before and it worked fine until I plugged the quickfire in. My instinct to get it working when it wouldn't connect was to reboot and that's when the system would freeze at boot up and shutdown the display/keyboard but keep running.Originally Posted by BeastRider

Sounds like a whole nother issue you got there rather than just the keyboard. Is it too late to RMA your bpard? Seems to me that the issues are coming from your main board.Originally Posted by IvantheDugtrio
So I installed Windows from scratch and got around installing everything I needed. The ethernet controller stopped working for whatever reason (poor quality board) and I successfully managed to reboot several times until I got to the graphics drivers.
I installed Catalyst 13.8 successfully but the reboot had issues. Firstly the system would boot up but after I logged in it looked like I had a kernel panic or something and the fans kicked in at full speed. I soon got to the BIOS screen where the board beeped 6 times with the POST code "DB". It then rebooted successfully and is working stably again.
I'll later plug the CM keyboard in and see what happens.

Yes good luck with that. Is this the Intel board or the z77 extreme4 based on your rigs? I hope it's not the extreme4, this is the same board I'm using. lol Nevermind it's an AMD board so I guess it's neither. How many rigs do you have?? lolOriginally Posted by IvantheDugtrio
I just rma'd it two weeks ago and all this happened. Now I'm rma'ing it again because the Ethernet controller died. I hope I get a different board when it comes back.

First I made the NES rig and then the Home Server rig which already had its motherboard swapped. This was temporarily my mom's rig that I put together using older parts when I was transitioning my Athlon II 640 from DDR2 to DDR3. Then I got the FX-6300 when I was browsing through microcenter (couldn't resist). So essentially I have three rigs, one of which stayed dead for a good six months until it decided to turn on (the NES), and the other which I take to my friend's lan as a loaner PC.
I've dubbed it the Franken PC because of all the extra parts I had around to build it with. Eventually I decided to put money into it and got a proper cooler and memory for it. Still deciding on the power supply (currently stock Rosewill PSU that came with the case).
It's too bad the case doesn't support ATX motherboards since I would have gotten one of those instead of dealing with this crap. I like it's size since it's low profile though it could be even smaller. I'll just have to wait for a mini-ITX AM3+ board to come about for a properly sized FX-6300 rig with sideways 7870 or some other GPU.
By the way we are using the same ASRock motherboards. I have to say I definitely like mine. I had it stable at 4.5 GHz for a really long time with a + 0.25V offset until some applications like [email protected] would crash.
lol I have too many now.Originally Posted by BeastRider
