What determines a bad unit from units that are good hardware wise but constantly having glitches, restarts.. this is not the hardware, this is bad drivers.. or software issues. There were a lot right out of the gate I feel.

Well I am not looking for anything for the monitor. I just need 3 usb ports off the sp3. I tried the plugable, but the cpu was at 20% at all times with it. So I removed it. I even downloaded the latest drivers.

Can anyone recommend a USB 3 hub they are using for connecting the sp3 with a keyboard, mouse, monitor? I am using a hub right now with the ethernet adapter, keyboard and mouse and I am getting some ports going dark here and there. I think I need something a little better. It's just the hub...

It was a regular lg USB optical mouse. I even restarted and still. However this morning, no issues. Strange, but hey it's working. I will keep an eye on it.

yup me. But I don't have to do the key combo.. I just press and hold the power til it shuts down.

So I hook up a mouse to my sp3, and now.. each left click registers as a double click. .. I guess it thinks I am using the pen??? Everyday it's a new adventure.

Don't blame you, I wanna chuck mine against the wall. Give up.

i dont think this is the answer. its not a bad unit its a bad design or rushed one anyways. I was just in a meeting.. using it to take notes.. switch to mail app.. freeze. from that point until I was able to restart (then have it come up and not be on the network and frozen).. 20 min. i just...

same here man. i have to say though i have been ok for the last few days. i was getting wake ups resulting in reboots. i feel like most of these hiccups are going to be fixed with future firmware updates.

I also have an asus, was getting the wifi issue, then it just stopped. Now it's working. Now I have hangs and restarts,

True, then they find out it was tied to a device like wireless card. I think in this case it's going to be a device issue.

I have had several BSODs . Today I noticed that when it was on a table in standby .. it suddenly came on. I went into the event logs and saw that is had restarted from a Bug Check. I filtered the system event log for critical and saw it has restarted 11 times in 3 days. I scan the dmp file and...

Anyone getting restarts? Just checked my event logs and there are about 10 reboots. Entry is critical and details says the usual unexpected shutdown from loss of power , etc... Hope they put out another update soon. Checked the dump file and it points to ntoskrnl.exe Wonder if a bad driver...

I use it, I don't notice any performance hit. I am surprised by what unruledboy posted, those numbers point to a lot of overhead.

This is not a gaming device.. and how many laptops even are? If you want to game go get a gaming rig.. not a laptop or a tablet. I use this for IT admin work.. it's my everything machine.. so was the sp2.. both work great for these tasks. Hey once in a while I will fire up Minecraft.. runs it...

I have to say, daisy chaining works flawlessly and very easily. There is no hiccups or situations where the wrong displays are working... so far so good.

When you say update driver for the n-trig, do you mean from MS, or is there a newer driver from the manu.?

Is anyone using an ethernet dongle? If you lock the machine and leave it running, are you noticing the network drops when you log back in? I am wondering if the usb ports go to sleep but I cannot see the settings under power advanced.

I didn't see display link in the processes.. what I did see was System System Intercept Those two were causing the cpu utilization. I cut out the Pluggable, and all is well now. Just using a USB 3.0 hub

I understand. This was my set up: Pluggable - I used this ONLY for keyboard/ethernet/mouse, I ran the monitors off of the miniport to two monitors daisy chained. This produced high CPU utilization. How I fixed it: I took out the pluggable from the equation and instead used the USB hub...
