Gamepad Xbox 360 for Windows pc freezing when the vibration is enabled
Anyone know a fix for this, whenever I have the vibration turned on for any game using the controller Xbox 360 for Windows (by cable), it freezes the game and I can't get my PC to respond again by disconnecting the controller.
This occurs if the game supports natively the 360 controller or not.
Games question until now:
Dead Space
Dead Space 2
LIMBO
Tomb Raider: LegendDeactivation of the vibration in one of these games feature solves the problem, but does anyone know a solution where I'd be able to use the vibration?
The problem you are experiencing may be caused by the power of the amount needed when the vibration is enabled. I had the problem on my old PC, that when I used my controller, my sound would play as the speakers had holes in them and that the game would freeze-freeze-start. The Xbox 360 controllers use 500mA, which is over the limit that provides a USB port. With this audio device, a keyboard and a mouse together via a USB port, which is an aspiration constant quite heavy on the USB supply rail.
I fixed it by getting a small USB 7 port hub which is outwardly the power (this is important) and plug my controller. This way he can draw the entire, there need without slipping down the USB ports attached to the motherboard. Just be sure it's a hub with an external power supply.SC Tom

I want to know if the wireless Xbox 360 controller will work with a PC if I just buy the receiver, or I have to buy the real Xbox 360 controller for windows to work? Because I just bought the receiver only and installed, but when I try to connect it to the controller the controller just flashes and never connects. Which leads me to believe that there is something different with the Xbox controller for windows. Please let me know. Thank you.

Black wired xbox 360 controller for windows flashes and freezes games
I installed the xbox 360 accessories 1.2, I plugged my black Xbox 360 wired controller for windows on the computer. I let it install its drivers. The ring of light continues to blink all the time, no matter how many times I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program and drivers, it continues to Flash, I even looked for updates for the drivers. When I start a game it also works very well unless I have pull triggers or go at my card or try to pick a lock. (the game is skyrim) It freezes whenever I have try them and I unplug the controller and it thaws and if I plug it back in, it does the same thing again. I tested the controller on a real xbox 360 (works fine), but it doesn't seem to work on my pc. Any help please, but serious answers only.

Hi Zxcvbnma,
· Is the specific issue with only Need for Speed or does happen with other games as well?
If the problem is specific only with Need for Speed, you can try to uninstall the game and reinstall the game and check if it works fine without any problems.
I also suggest that you uninstall Xbox 360 controller drivers and reinstall the drivers that could help you solve the problem.
Check the settings of the game. You can also connect the controller to the other computer and use it and check if the problem still persists.
