So today i fitted a new GPU 6950xt just to test, now when i playing games like squads.. when i press CAPS to open the maps my system will beep as if the say a new monitor as been connected my GPU and CPU will spike down and my keyboard inputs stop

let say I'm walking so pressing the up arrow key, if i press caps to see map my system will beep and i have to release the up key and repress to start walking again.

Any idea?

Idk what software uses caps lock, but I guess it could be anything

i dont think it the caps, it more like the screen switching from game play to map?? i dont know.
i didnt do this with my 4080, and ill i have done is remove drivers and install new ones for the 6950xt

To rule out both scenarios can you temporarily remap the map key and test both new map key and caps lock.

What connections/cables are running from gpu to your monitor? Is it happening again with the new install?

yes it still happening but only in a tank, and only when entering map. its defo a resolution reset.
squads as a few funny setting like a gun scope is now picture in picture so when you look dose a scope it basically rendering 4k.

im gaming at 1440, i have to assume the map is at a different res, im going to grab a 1080p screen and see if it continues

This is whats happening, its not resalution its to do with AMD ARES, its making to the keyboard randomly disconnect for a second

6900xt: ARES Keyboard / Radeon USB LED - What is going on with the drivers?

Ever since I installed my reference 6900xt I am getting strange things with devices disconnecting/connecting, mainly my keyboard. I wouldn't even notice it, if not for a USB event logger. When I startup games sometimes, or just out of the blue (no idea what triggers it), I hear the device...

now i want to retest
