Hello
just to kinda update this again if anyone cares... unsurprisingly i found out that my issue was 100% caused because of the short-circuits
the voltage stabilizer was basically trying it's best to mantain the old PC alive while the short-circuit was ongoing and basically the PC survived but as an exchange it started the input lag issue, if it was an even older pc it might have just died completely, but since this one is a bit modern i guess it just survived but it started behaving with insane amounts of lag, so i can confirm entirely that electricity was the issue
the old pc was basically permanently damaged because of that, no matter in which house or place it was used it would still be completely unplayable with the input lag
the peripheral infection theory is something i did not try to troubleshoot because i wanted to stop messing with this issue since its a pain in the butt
i know not everyone experienced this exact same issue as i did and i wish i could help with that but i wanted to give people an idea of it.. so to me its surprising that people get affected by this so much, and for new reference i don't live near power lines or anything like that
mouse input lag FIXED

IMPORTANT:
This subforum is for advanced users only. This separate area is for niche or unexpected lag issues such as electromagnetic interference (EMI, EMF, electrical, radiofrequency, etc). Interference of all kinds (wired, wireless, external, internal, environment, bad component) can cause error-correction (ECC) latencies like a bad modem connection, except internally in a circuit. ECC = retransmits = lag. Troubleshooting may require university degree. Your lag issue is likely not EMI.

Re: mouse input lag FIXED
Did u try your old damaged pc with energy stabilizer? Is energy stabilizer make more playable? Or just working with new peripherals?jiaran_wuwuwuwu wrote: β25 Apr 2022, 19:02Hello

basically i moved to another house in my same town and while i was in my old one i was using the infected PC while i was getting new parts and peripherals for a new one
i basically sold everything from the old PC after i got my new one, which I used in my new house.. worth noting my previous house is very old and didnt even have grounding in it and probably a lot more elctricity issues.. like at one time i got a short circuit in my entire home when there was a ice cream shop renting in one of the rooms in here, they left in like 2019 but left a lot of stuff broken and i feel like thats why my pc got messed up.
my pc also always had a voltage stablizier which looks like this![]()
connected to it because there are general power issues in my town but when the short circuit was ongoing i wasnt realiziing that the voltage stabilizer was saving my pc from completely exploding but then after a bit it started smelling like itwas burning so i realized and turned it off quickly.. it was the first time that something like this happened
like 2-3 months after the short circuit thing happened my pc started to reboot itself while i was playing games and it took me a while to figure out why and then i used OCCT stress test and after using it for 1 sec it rebooted itself and then started always getting kernel-power errors in windows event viewer and it was basically because the psu wasnt working well so i changed it on my old pc
and then like around 3 months after changing psu input lag started happening.. but first it was sometimes depending in windows boot.. like sometimes the mouse input lag would be there and if it was i had to restart PC and then i was good again.. but starting from like november 2021 it basically started being permanent and i didnt know what to do at that point and trust me i tried literally everything
but as you can see my pc probably went through a lot combined with fact that the outlets were also old and electricity around the house was very bad and there wasnt any grounding and also using a voltage stabilizer rlly doesnt help at this point etc.
--------------
so learning all of this and reading in this forum about all of this i was very pessimistic since it looked like it was more complicated than just changing a psu this time but what i did is:
-going to my new house with newer wiring and new grounding and such
-completely new pc.. mostly trying to use popular brands but avoiding gigabyte because the old pc had a gigabye motherboard and since i read a lot of stuff about them being not being reliable nowadays i had to
-got UPS instead of voltage stabilizer.. i know some people said ups doesnt help or whatever but i primarily got it for power outages and stuff and its better than a voltage stabilizer anyways i guess
-also completely new peripherals.. basically i didnt combine anything from my old pc to my new one because of my fear and theory of infected hardware that could mess up a new pc just that easily, for example old pcs infected mouse in new one and stuff..
so yeah spent a lot of money for this fix.. mostly pc and peripherals because the new house is also owned by my dad so i already had to go there
i also waited around 4 weeks before typing all of this because i know many people in this forums have said that it returns but it still didnt so i think its all good now.. hope any of this helps even if it sounds like very specific issues that i had but still wanted to talk about it since im one of the people that suffered from this weird issue!
βI will mostly keep this shortβ
