My first idea would replug in the usb connector to the motherboard

harsh jolt
mossy gazelle
#

how recently?

harsh jolt
#

few months ago

mossy gazelle
#

has this been happening since you built it or is this a new problem

harsh jolt
#

got all parts brand new

harsh jolt
mossy gazelle
#

hmmmmmm

#

as far as why it happened I have no idea, I would try unplugging the usb connector to the mb and replugging it in

harsh jolt
#

i might reinstall the driver see if that changes anything

harsh jolt
mossy gazelle
#

yeah

harsh jolt
#

I done that but it still kept doing it but I installed the game driver and will check when im home

harsh jolt
#

still happening

Does the PC detect a power surge mabye? Windows 11 devices are capable of warning about Power Surges to another device, my laptop warned me a of USB Port power surge about a week or two ago so. It could be that. Or it's possible the drive itself has a virus. (basically run a Anti-Virus scan on it)

#

my whole set up takes 480+

#

nothing is oc to

#

So mabye check for malware on the Thumbdrive mabye?

harsh jolt
#

nope i cleared the drive and formatted it

#

2x

misty wolf
#

Did you try other USB Sticks?

#

I was thinking of possible GPU fault but you said it was an issue caused by the USB Stick so, probably not the case

harsh jolt
#

tried my extender and no problems

#

so idk

misty wolf
#

So it's likely caused by that one USB Stick then? If so, it's possible it has hidden malware that PC cannot see. Usually the form of a Rootkit, hidden parition, etc.

#

So you might wanna run Command Terminal

harsh jolt
#

how?

misty wolf
#

Right click the Windows 11 Icon, the look for Terminal (Admin)

harsh jolt
#

yup

misty wolf
#

thinking really quick lol

harsh jolt
#

yeah

misty wolf
#

You can look for hidden partitions by having:
"diskpart
list disk
select disk X (replace X with the thumbstick's disk number)
list partition
"
I am not a expert at this tbh

#

it might take a bit to scan depending how big that drive is,
you could also run a anti-virus scan by using:
"C:\Windows\system(what ever bit number your OS runs on)>MpCmdRun.exe -Scan -ScanType 2" though come to think of it, it might run it on the whole system, not just the thumbdrive. probably scratch that bit

#

looking into it, it actually boots up Microsoft Defender after looking it up really quick

harsh jolt
#

30gb

misty wolf
#

30 gigabytes of what?

harsh jolt
#

thats full storage on it

misty wolf
#

even know file explorer sees it empty?

#

I mean does it see the drive as empty?

harsh jolt
#

lost dir

misty wolf
#

interesting, that might be the source, I am not entirely sure, imma look it up really quick, the LOST.DIR file

#

I wouldn't delete it just yet just in case

harsh jolt
#

i wont

#

might open it up

misty wolf
#

Looking it up, it means corrupted files:

harsh jolt
#

yeah it was used for my phone with codes but after i moved it to my pc i cleared it

misty wolf
#

Is the USB port like it's own board or is it directly on the motherboard? (I'd assume so tbh), mabye try to reinstall the USB Drivers see if that helps mabye?

harsh jolt
#

its in the front

misty wolf
#

Then either it's hidden paritions (not sure if you ran that command yet or not, and if it's still checking) or a Driver issue that needs to be reinstalled

harsh jolt
#

Maybe the issue I just noticed

misty wolf
#

dirty?

#

I mean it kinda does look dirty from the photo so

#

though I am not sure if a dirty thumbdrive can cause that glitch on the display though

harsh jolt
#

It's on the inner part of the plastic but looks on the metel

misty wolf
#

Yeah I cannot really tell if there is metal in the connectors or not (or loose solder joints or solder derbis), though normally if there was a short, it wouldn't usually affect the GPU unless it was a firmware on it in a hidden parition that makes the GPU glitch, dunno tbh

harsh jolt
#

yeah

#

welp lucky i moved the game code to my pc

#

ill prob bin it

misty wolf
#

alr

#

I do gtg for now, gn, it's past 2:30 AM here lol
