Yes, the same anti-virus for years. Do you think it's the keyboard or mouse?

Can't find the minidump folder?

It might be a hidden folder. Go into your Folder Options and check the "Show hidden files and folders" box.

Well, you can get a new keyboard or mouse for peanuts. It's pretty easy to verify.

I might look into getting one, but I have a feeling it won't be the issue... Just sounds too silly.

Turns out it might be a MB issue. Take a look at how many same problems there are at the ASUS forum

So, I'm guessing it's a component you hadn't changed?

I have a Asus motherboard myself and it has always worked flawlessly.

The MB was changed, that's the weird part, I was getting same issues on both MB's. That's why I couldn't understand it. Had it been only with my new MB, the current one, I would have diagnosed the issue faster.

It's a very unstable MB without the right BIOS settings it appears.
