Please read the entire body of my post. Windows 10 has been reinstalled numerous times, and they have all been fresh installs. I do not use Windows Hello, and while I do have the Logitech Webcam Software, it does not start at boot, and that would be unrelated to the webcam hanging during POST.

Hey guys, I made a thread or three about this over the past few months, but it was always to no avail. At this point, I'm convinced that Linus may have another case of "Weird PC Issue With No Solution" on his hands... Let's start from the beginning here. Upon plugging in the webcam, the device will install properly, ask me to restart my PC, and all will be well. The webcam will turn on properly, function well and there will be no apparent issues. However, after a few restarts, issues start occurring. During boot, my PC will hang while initializing USB devices. Everything but the webcam will initialize correctly, but the webcam will cause my PC to hang. My motherboard (EVGA X99 FTW K) has a motherboard speaker, and I can hear the low beep that it emits when it is struggling to boot. If I let this go for about a minute, my PC will give up on the device, go into Windows and everything will be "normal." Except, my webcam won't be detected, Windows will tell me I have a corrupt USB device plugged in, and in the Device Manager it will be reported as an Unrecognized Device. This will persist if I unplug and re-plug the webcam, restart the computer or anything like that. However, if I unplug the webcam during boot, my computer will go right through onto the desktop without a hitch. If I plug the webcam in, it will still say it's a corrupt or unrecognized device. If I power cycle my PSU, I can boot with the webcam, but only once. Once I shut my PC down, we're back at square one. I've tried three different webcams, and they all do this. My C920, my backup C920, and my brother's C922. This is what I've tried to do so far: I've uninstalled the device and drivers from Device Manager and reinstalled the webcam. I've tried every single USB port on my computer, including front I/O and my keyboard passthrough. I've fully updated Windows and all of my USB drivers. I've manually "updated" the driver to use a default, Windows-provided "USB Composite Device" driver. I've reinstalled Windows 10. I've changed my motherboard from the ASUS X99-A/USB 3.1 to the EVGA X99 FTW K. I reinstalled Windows 10 before and after the motherboard swap. I've uninstalled and reinstalled all of my USB Host Controllers. I've tried Googling my issue and posting elsewhere, but nobody has come across a solution. If I remember more of what I've tried, I'll update this post. If somebody can fix my issue, I will buy you a $30~ game of your choice on Steam. Please help.

I'm back. I call him Lukus.

Sadly, I disassembled the entire thing but it didn't help. I ended up replacing them with a pair of Mackie CR4s.

As I said though, this is any USB port on my PC, with two different cameras and two different motherboards. I don't think it's a grounding / broken issue. I think it's USB / driver related.

As long as the webcam is unplugged, everything else works fine. Also, the webcam is the only thing that has issues. After the PC POSTs, it will report that there is an unrecognized device. It is the webcam. Every other device and such works fine.

Absolutely nothing different than traditional operation.

Hey guys, I'm practically at my wit's end. Over the past few months, I've been having trouble with POSTing issues. Sometimes at boot, my PC would hang during boot, specifically during POST. After, it would go into Windows as "normal" but would report an "Unrecognized USB Device" and it would tell me to reconnect it. Checking my Device Manager, it seemed that it was my webcam causing the issue. However, if I unplugged it, the device would "disconnect," Device Manager would refresh, and the Unrecognized Device would disappear. After reconnecting it however, the device would not be detected. Any time the PC hangs during POST, I either have to cycle the power on my PSU (shutting PC off normally does nothing) or unplug the webcam. Afterwards, the PC will boot fine, and will otherwise run completely normal. Interestingly enough, this issue persisted into my new motherboard. I replaced my ASUS X99-A with an EVGA X99 FTW K and the issue was still present. Even after flashing the BIOS and changing / updating all of the USB drivers. I also completely uninstalled the webcam (as far as I know) and let Windows reinstall the device after plugging it back in. The device installed correctly, but upon a shutdown and power on, the issue returned. I unplugged it and tossed it in my storage. Today, I received another C920 that is in like-new condition. Upon plugging it in, Windows chimed in with the same "Unrecognized Device" mantra, and the webcam wouldn't work. I uninstalled the device from Windows, re-plugged it and installed it again, and the webcam functioned "normally" until I shut down and powered on my PC, where it began to hang again. Honestly, I don't know what to do besides trying to nuke Windows. My only concern is that the POST occurs before Windows initialization, so I don't think it's Windows-related... I am on Windows 10 Professional, and my hardware specs are in my signature. Help...

Some of the best headphones you can get at that price range are the Sennheiser HD650 which you could pair with the FiiO E10K and have yourself an excellent pair of cans for $450.

Why the hell is there an ad at the beginning of this post? That should be reportable.

Looking at your picture, it seems you have playback quality set to Full. While I'm not sure what's going on with Adobe's side, have you tried setting it to 1/2 or 1/4 and then scrubbing? If that fixes it, it would be a good temporary fix until an update comes out.

My younger brother had the same issue. It's purely a fault of the Logitech G430 headset. It's cheap, both in quality and in price, and I'd recommend upgrading to a pair of Kingston HyperX Cloud's.

Are you running the latest build? I've struggled to scrub my timeline on the latest build as well.

If your RAM is 3200mhz, then the strap needed to be raised, meaning a 45 multiplier was way higher than 4.5ghz, and probably closer to... 5.6ghz. Outside of that, have you tried to reset the BIOS by removing your CMOS battery?

If that's the case, your R7 360 may simply be dying, and the artifacting would indicate this.

Have you tried re-seating the GPU and doing a clean install of the drivers?

Not a problem! I'm glad you got things in order right quick.

Unfortunately no, this is not possible. There's simply a lack of data, and scaling a video up to HD will only stretch the existing pixels. You could get somewhere by scaling it up and applying some sharpness tweaks to the footage, but that's not going to be worth much. TL;DR: No, not really.

They might be in use right now. Would it be too much for you to just do a clean driver install? Download Display Driver Uninstaller from here. Download the current drivers for your computer from here. Run DDU and remove all traces of your current drivers. After restarting your computer, install the latest drivers for your machine that you downloaded in step 2. That should clean things up for you, and those files should go, or at least be deletable after!

Yes. I have the NZXT Kraken x61, and I have mine set to white. That being said, because it's an RGB light, and apparently a poor one at that, the "white" is actually really blue looking, to the point I'd say it's more of a cyan than anything. I've confirmed it's not just my model, either, and all units suffer from this. So while technically you can set it to pure white, it will look blue.

They're likely just temporary files left over after a driver update. It looks like nothing has been done with them since the 26th of October, so I'd say it's safe to delete them. If anything bad happens, it's only likely to be drivers issues that would be fixed with a clean driver install, and that's worst case. More likely than not, you can just delete them.

If reinstalling the USB 3.0 drivers doesn't work, you may have potentially damaged the headers without realizing it. Could you try to boot into Linux and see if the ports work? (Just create a bootable media for something like Ubuntu.)

Unfortunately, due to the pricing gap in cards right now, the best you can get for $400 is either a GTX 1060 6GB, or an RX 480 8GB. If you can bump up that budget to $410, you can get a blower design GTX 1070, and for $440 you could get an aftermarket cooler GTX 1070 from most any brand.

Sorry, I was using "HDD" as a general term. I did mean your SSD, yeah.

Have you removed the battery and tried powering it with the cable connected? Have you tried re-seating the RAM and HDD? (I'm not sure how accessible either of these are on your model.)
