Keyboard Locks Up In-Game

[Aerdian]

What Happened?

Hi! So, yesterday, my keyboard locked up in American Truck Simulator, leading me to force restart my computer. Today, my keyboard locked up in another unrelated game, Slowdrive. Then later, it did in my browser, leading me to close and reopen my web browser.

 

What Have I Done?

I replaced my keyboard with another one and the same problem persists. I tried running ATS in safe mode (there is no option in Slowdrive). I have restarted my computer. I switched the keyboard to different USB ports.

 

PC Specs:

OS: Windows 10 Home 1703 64-bit (KB4025342)

CPU: AMD FX-8320

GPU: ASUS AMD RX480 4GB

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3

SSD: Crucial MX300 1TB

HDD: Toshiba 2TB

PSU: EVGA 500W 80 Plus

BIOS: I have no idea what version I have

 

Oops...I forgot my keyboard and mouse.

Keyboard: Logitech G213 Prodigy

Mouse: Logitech G203 Prodigy

So, I think I found my keyboard in device manager, but I am still unable to find the irq#. This is the closest thing I could find. Thank you for your help

ok now look under acpi section for virtual anything

if keyboard is a virtualized ps/2 keyboard because its on usb it needs to actually call irq1 with its data so usb controller send the keyboards keystrokes to irq1

ps/2 mouse is irq12

Okay, so I discovered that it only happens when my headphones are the input/output sound device. It seems to be nothing to do with the keyboard at all. Does that mean my headphones are broken?

only if there sharing an irq spot without using cascading usuage policy as this would cause the usb controller and soundcard controller to create a OVP or OCP shutdown

or even an  UVP if microphone on headset used as its reverse polarity to speakers (especially powered mic)
