I'm sorry but I have to go to bed now (It's almost 2:30am here).  Just install all 4 drivers and check your device manager.  There should be nothing with a yellow exclamation/question mark on it anymore.  If not I'll be back on in another 7 hours or so.  Gotta get some shut-eye.

Okay eh... Well! On installing the chip set drivers, I think, my usb mouse and keyboard didnt quite work anymore, so I had to use the powerbutton to restart the computer. They're both USB mouse and keyboard

I'm on the internet with a wifi USB stick too, so I got disconnected for a while.

Let me know if you still have any problems.  If you do we'll go from there. :)

Okay so... Since this fix I've had thesame problem about 8 times again. I'm almost thinking it has to do something with the power button. I use an extension cord that you have to turn on before being able to use it... When I have it still turned on from the last run it will give me problems. Also, if I turn on that extension cord, and the power button from my pc after that (immidiatly) it won't work either, I would have to wait a couple of seconds... Sometimes it won't even work after that!

I doubt that it's a virus or software problem, think it's something from the inside.

I'm sorry but maybe they do things differently over there.  Turn on an extension cord?  Are you talking about a surge protector or power strip?



If it's a power problem I don't think I'll be able to do much.  I don't even know what type of PSU you have to use in the Netherlands.  It's definitely going to be different from here.

Did you recently add a new graphics card or any other hardware?
