Mouse and keyboard input lag/input skips, mouse freezes on boot
Posted: 18 Jan 2024, 15:44
Hello guys, so i been struggling with this problem for about 4 years now, it started with my first build which was: r5 2600, rx 580, msi b450 gaming plus, thermaltake berlin 630w, kingston 100gb ssd, seagate 1tb hdd. The issue back then was when i first connected my pc to the power after building it my cirquit breaker (english not my first language) popped, i lost electricity, this happened a few times when i plugged my pc in and started it.
After that i got a 144 hz monitor, asus vg248qz, then when i was playing games my pc would always freeze literally for one second, it would be such a huge fps drop but only for one second, no matter the load put on the pc. My monitor felt very weird, like it was 60hz even thought it was put on 144hz, i tried absolutely everything to fix these stutters and this weird monitor issue, reinstalled windows 10000 timmes, applied tweaks, updated bios, everything, nothing helped at all.
I bought a new gpu then, gigabyte rtx 2060 oc, same issue, didn't help at all. What got rid of the "didnt feel like 144hz" problem, or at least got rid of it to the point it isnt noticeable, is buying a new ssd and removing the old ssd and hdd both, my monitor finally felt like 144hz then, but the mouse freeze on boot and in grame stutters were still there, and the more the stutters happened, my monitor would "lose" the herz (like every time it would stutter, it would fully freeze, even on lowest loads, temps were fine, but every time these stutters happened i would lose hz, if it stuttered for about 50 times, then it would start to feel like 60hz again, untill i would reset the refresh rate manually, like putting it on 120 then 140, or turing my monitor off then on, that would "reset it" and it would feel like 144hz again).
Then i started replacing stuff one by one, i replaced my psu next, from thermaltake berlin 630w to coolermaster mwe bronze v2 500w, this "helped" very subtle though, kind of made my mouse less floaty, thats how i felt it. after that i bought a new monitor, benq xl2411p, this monitor change just made my monitor much much smoother overall, it felt more like 144hz now, and it was very noticeable, but the stutter issue and losing hz was still there, it just was more smooth overall.
So i kept going, bought a new cpu, from r5 2600 to r5 5600, this just improved my fps, the stutters and mouse freeze on boot still happened, so i kept going and replaced the motherboard, now this is where it got weird, after replacing the motherboard, from msi b450 gaming plus, to gigabyte b550 gaming x v2 rev 1.4 the EXTREME stutters in game were replaced by only minimal stutters, which now didnt feel like freezes, and the pc felt much more stable, especially the hertz really felt like 144hz rn more then ever. Then after updating bios i started getting mouse freezes on boot, only sometimes, which was an improvement because before it happened every single time. Tried to revert bios to fix it, didnt fix it, it only happens like randomly, sometimes twice or 3 times in a row, sometimes once in 10 times, mouse felt kind of floaty,
so decided to buy an even better psu, bought a asus tuf gaming 750w gold, this didn't do anything, or maybe it made my frames more stable, less stutters, which it only felt like, but i'm not sure about that. The biggest issue now is the fact that i get some weird input delay at times in game, where it's EXTREMELY noticeable, this is an issue i never had before, i did also switch network, so network "might" be causing this issue, but sometimes it just skips input, or does it too late, in fortnite especially, it fully skips like 3 or 4 mouse and/or keyboard input sometimes, and sometiems just does it very delayed, but then also sometimes for like 3-4 seconds it works perfectly without skipping anything, kind of like it happens if i press a lot of keys for a long time, i feel like, but i'm not sure, i just know that sometimes it places everything, and sometimes it skips inputs extremely, and delays them sometimes, my ping is always below 30 and it shows no packet loss when this happens, really need help with this guys, and would appreciate it a lot if someone could help me figure it out.
Also i had an electrician come, and he tested the outlet, he says sometimes it dropped from 220v to 214v for a milisecond, says this is up to the power providers, and this shouldnt cause any issue at all. I called the electricians, i don't know what they did they changed something in the power box, and then again tested many outlets at 8 pm, and it was consisntant 235v all the time, he says now its perfect. Any help appreciated.
