    Just updating this thread with a brief history about the problem, and restating the specs of my system.

    Starting with the brief history of this system.
    Alll of the parts were bought new from various online retailers in the past one to three years. I do not know the exact date of purchase for various reasons but will look at that soon for RMA's.

    Here is what is written in one of my other threads............
    BRIEF HISTORY
    I recall having screen freezes (BF play4free) before I upgraded the Video card on this secondary PC. They continued after the new videocard was installed, but not as frequent.
    More recently I suspected a virus infection after another person borrowed my PC. I posted in the malware removal forums and was told PC is clean so far, here is link.

    I was told to post in another section so I am starting with hardware

    recent issues are light blue screen freeze after starting Battlefield play4free game(forced to reboot with button). Also lost internet connection at the same time as suspected malware infection.
    I had a white screen freeze of whole monitor after leaving PC on all night(not using it but BF play4free was running.
    I got a mostly black screen with various artifacts while trying to load the BM "Call of Pripyat"
    I think maybe the scanners used in the malware forum may have helped but I still have main symptoms re-occurring.

    I noticed there were a few uninstalls that went bad and left registry crap on my PC so I decided to reinstall from scratch. At this point I noticed a problem booting to the CD to install, I saw weird characters on the secondary POST screen. There was even a smiley face in one line of this second screen:) So next I realized the BIOS may have been corrupted by this temporary guest at our house. I then reflashed the BIOS to F11 and noticed improvement. I then started the reinstallation of the OS. It went rather smoothly and then I used the tweak guide to guide me in the install of my drivers. This guide can be found at

    http://www.tweakguides.com

    As soon as everything was installed I took an image of my system using EaseUS Diskcopy Located here--> http://www.easeus.com/disk-copy/
    This is basically a backup of the system which is reccommended highly by most experts.

    CURRENT PROBLEM REGARDING RAZOR LYCOSA KEYBOARD
    I was swapping a Logitech KB while working on two systems so I realized that there was a Razor in storage. I installed the software and keyboard and it worked great until recently.
    I noticed the problems with the keys spacebar and "g". This is when I wrote this thread on the Lycosa and shortly after I checked the BIOS for settings. First I realized, I am running on the USB 1.1 ports straight off the mobo and have the 2.0 ports turned off. I do have the front USB ports hooked up to the mobo header (1.1 again?) This is the only way I could turn off the ports that I suspected as being bad. I could not turn off 2.0 as that would lead to no USB functioning at all.
    I found it interesting that I had the USB mouse funtion(not keyboard mind you) set at disabled. I enabled and saved setting and restarted. I then noticed the keyboard started to function normally, for now.
    I did also find that certain keyboards are defective as well and need RMAs. I have not found that my keyboard is listed as a defective product as yet. I am continuing testing this keyboard.
    One other thing, some keys feel like they are sticking while pressing down. Not the greatest feeling keys in the world(especially since I paid quite a bit for this product)
    Anyway that is where I am now and am continuing to test.

    It appears that the keyboard problems are random with my KB(A and D keys now). I was in game and the A key stuck first then after i restarted the game both were nonoperational (A and D). I did a restart as that was reccommended on some other forums(or unplugging and replugging in to reset-another poster suggested using ports farther apart for the main and aux USB that this KB has installed.
