my Corsair HS40 keep on disconnecting and reconnecting and my game will go to stuck/hang state after someone in my house turn on the light..and it will turn back to normal after a few sec or it take minutes..

OS : Windows 7 Ultimate x64
PROC : i3-3220 CPU @ 3.3GHz
MOBO : H61M-P31/W8
RAM : Kingston HyperX 4GBx2
HDD : 2TB
GC : GTX650 1GB

is it my Motherboards problems since i buy it only for 2 month..
 
I have a similar problem on my Asus Z97-A motherboard, but I have been able to narrow down the problem. Read on for something interesting...

1) For me, the problem is only with SOME USB 3.0 devices like Card readers and external harddrives (some multidtrive USB 3.0 readers do work, some HDs are temperamental about when they will work) - this is all very weird.
2) But the most weird thing is that the problem only occurs when I join my windows 8.1 pro pc to a domain, as soon as I take it off the domain, the problem goes away - this seems to imply that the domain group policies have something to do with it. But why then do some drives work on and off?


I tried the power options as described in the post (http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2335635/usb-drives-disconnected-reconnected-usb-work-great-usb.html)
and I have tried disabling XHCI as described in the post (http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1885037/windows-usb-devices-disconnect-reconnect-power-saving.html)

None of the above worked.
