    Hello all,

    I've been searching for a fix for some time now.  I installed this HotFix http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprohardware/thread/38f25c1d-de67-4c74-8845-2cd3a15d8e41 but it did not solve my problem. 

    My problem relates to a USB headset.  It appears that when I hit a heavy load on the system sound my computer freezes up.  It comes back right away (most of the time) if I unplug the usb connector on the headset (logitech).  If I do not unplug the headset the system will sometimes have a moving mouse cursor but it is completely unresponsive (can not click on anything on the Win 7 Menu Bar). 

    Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide to help solve this problem.  Thank you for your help!

  • Hi Ron,

     

    I would like to suggest you update the BIOS, the motherboard drivers and the audio card driver first.

     

    If it does not work, you may also test the issue in Clean Boot.

     

    What’s the result in Clean Boot?

     

    Please also try to change the USB port and use another USB headset to test the issue.

  • Quick update.

    The BIOS was up to date. 

    I installed new CODEC driver, new NVidia driver that just came out this month, a Win7 support pack from HP and updated the intel chipset drivers.  I have not been able to reproduce the problem yet.  I will continue testing.  Thank you for your help.
