Hi there, What is your opinion on these new hard drives? I just read one article where it says if you don't have a fan or something near it, it will overheat. I just installed my new hardware with Win 7, & my mouse is double clicking all over the place & even my keyboard is harder to type on. I can barely work. I put it on WD_BLACK 1TB SN770 NVMe and while I assume it's the MSI motherboard MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK AM4 AMD B550 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard causing the issue, maybe it's the HD? We have to install new USB drivers, but I don't know how to see if that solves the problem, but in the meantime I may want to downgrade to Win Pro, although I'd prefer to do a clean install as time consuming as it is to have to redo everything. The only version of Win we found with those drivers already installed, was 7 Ultimate which I've never used & am not a fan of. And no, I don't want Win 10. I have a new SSD, so I could put the new version of Pro on there, but I'd prefer to use the NVMe. I may keep that for Linux, but I don't know when that would be. LMK Thanks
Could be a driver issue or your mouse is gone bad, try using a different mouse to see if you experience the same problem.
It's not the mouse. It was working perfectly fine the week before with the old computer. We are going to have to reinstall Windows & hopefully that driver will fix the issue. But you didn't answer my question about the NVMe. Thanks
I just ordered fans & that means I'd have to wait to get the heat sink & wait for the guy to put it in b/c I don't want to have to pay for him to come back twice. That fan won't do? Thanks
You bought a PCIe Gen4 ssd which doesn't have any kind of a heatsink. Generally, such ssds are sold with the assumption you have AT LEAST some airflow over it OR you have some heatsink to put on it. So if you have sufficient airflow in your case, you should be perfectly fine, but having a heatsink definitely helps with faster NVMe ssds. You're not really specifying what kind of (I assume homebrew) iso you're using to install 7 with. Have you considered getting a clean media refresh iso and applying simplix updatepack7r2 to it? It's gonna have mostly everything you need to boot windows 7 on that platform in UEFI with CSM enabled - generic usb3 driver and nvme support.
Ok, the fans were installed & now there's HUGE problems. I don't know if I should start a new thread b/c i don't think it has anything to do with the NVMe. It's the MB I'm pretty sure. Here's the new thread - https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...ues-after-installing-fans.88679/#post-1856518 The last part you wrote is all Greek to me LOL Do you have links to all of this? We haven't reinstalled Win 7 Pro, so I'm still using Ultimate which I don't like. We were just getting them from online. The mouse eventually calmed down, but after he put the fans in, I started to have problems again. Moreso with the keyboard (the keys are hurting me b/c they are hard to press down.) Thanks
