Heya peeps,
Posting my troubles here in the hope that someone recognizes the problem and knows of a potential solution.
I've browsed through quite a lot of google pages without any success.
After first receiving my new alienware machine I ran into a bunch of technical trouble, which started off with my machine randomly freezing for 5-10 mins, with the hard drive simply "shutting down."
The error was:
Event ID 129 - Reset to device \Device\RaidPort0 was issued.
Dell replaced the logicboard, but turns out that it had nothing to do with the logicboard.
After some research the issue was caused by the nvidia 64 bit driver called: nvstor64.
When installing the chipset driver for nvidia it also installed a nvidia Satadriver (nvstor64) which was the cause of the machine freezing.
Once resolved I noticed another problem.
Tabbing windows and preview from the taskbar doesn't work. When ever I tab, the tab shows up for a splitt second and then vanishes again, and the same happens when using preview.
Upon closer inspection it turns out that a command is being spammed on the machine, but I have no idea why and which one.
When attempting to keybind any key in any game the result always becomes either "[]" or "118".
Has anyone seen this issue before, where every bind becomes either "[]" or "118" ?
Also, I've installed a pure windows 7 version (the one which came with the machine), on a pure windows 7, the issue does not occur, but if I do use the pure version several other things happen, such as:
Command senter fusion / sense no longer works,
missing drivers for microphone and integrated webcam (Their not on the dell / alienware page) and various other driver issues.
Lastly when using the Win 7 pure install disk, I also ofc loose all the nice alienware backgrounds / pics, which I would like to keep.
Any information, possible solutions or other would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I have tested using "Virtual Keyboard" to check for stuck keys, or other, but there was no visual indication that any key was "stuck"
