i had the same problem with my copperhead, heres your solution. "Similar problems can occur with most integrated USB ports which supply only 100mA(max) of power when the Copperhead requires 200mA. The mouse will lose power globally but most often during high stress such as gameplay. Get an external, AC powered USB hub that supplies 500mA(max) to each port. " found on razer site
Wow good info +1. Didnt know a mouse can consume so much energy.Stizz wrote:

the problem is most likely the USB port itself. try a different one or get an external hub/pci adaptor. i use the PCI adaptor and it works fantastically.
I got a year's warranty left is what I mean, plus I've already tried a different port ... don't really wanna buy other stuff tbh ...Ender2309 wrote:

an usb hub is a good thing. i'm also gonna buy so all my usb devices are hooked on it and when i want to unplug everything from the PC i just need to unplug one usb device.mitch212k_2 wrote:

It is not the USB ports that are the problem, all other hardware (like keyboard) are working finesmartdude992 wrote:

I'm now getting blue screens every few hrs with the message; "Razerlow.sys" and am fed up of this issue. I've emailed tech support about a possible replacement and hope they respond, i'll keep you updated

I was basing that off of what .Sup said about the draw, if it is trying to draw 200ma and 100ma is all thats supplied, it might cut out...FloppY_ wrote:

You might want to try updating your BIOS. I know that the ASUS P5N32E-SLI had issues with the Razer mice. The latest BIOS fixed the problem though.
i been onto tech support anyway today so i'll see what happens
I have the exact same issue with my mouse. It's a Logitech G5 though. But it seems to be the exact same problem. Another of my friends recently got this problem with his G5 as well. So it seems to be a general thing with USB mice. I'll go look for a USB Hub and see if it might help.
Well i've been using another mouse fine ... so i'm going to order a g5 and razer speedmat and see how i gocrank29dk wrote:
