Xbox 360 controller stops working after 5-15min

[strudl]

Hello lads,

I have a strange problem. I have my 2 xbox 360 controllers (wired version from ebay) connected to lenovo e420s. And after 5-15 minutes controllers just simply turn off. They start working again only if i reboot my pc or plug them in another usb port.

If anybody has any idea what could be wrong or how can I solve that I would be very happy.

 

Have a nice day Strudl

I've had this problem on low battery/ old rechargable battery. Those rechargable units sit on the shelves for months in some places. they don't react well when you finally plug them in.

Try updating your drivers!

So I forgot to tell this happens after 5-15minutes of gameplay in Blur and it happens only if there are 2 of the controllers plugged in. With only one it works just fine. Drivers are newest. Its wired controller so there is defenitly no problems with batteries.

When I plug it in and out, controller is detected in devices and printers and device manager but it doesnt work. Green light on the controller doesn't turn on and none of the controls work.
