    Ok so I was doing some overclocking with setfsb and when I hit the limit of the ram I BSOD'd and after the the restart my Bluetooth mouse would not work, I have tried just about everything I can think of besides reinstalling windows which seems to be the only fix. I have tried, removing the bluetooth drivers completely from the device manager, reinstalling the drivers, installing widcomm drivers, removing the service, reinstalling the service. Heres one thing that I noticed, by default the service log on setting is set to local system and after the BSOD its set to Local Service. It detects my mouse and installs it then it dissappears immediately and doesnt work at all during this, when I try setting the bthserv back to log on Local System setting it wont detect any bluetooth devices at all. So my question is has anyone else had this problem and fixed it?

    Nowhere near your level of oops, but it couldn't hurt to try:

    Early on I was using an apple bluetooth keyboard [dont' ask] and had an absolute nightmare of a time getting it to sync up. Even when it did, after a few days to a week it'd de-sync on a reboot, and I'd have to fight for an hour or so to get it to work again.

    The trick to it was, when you go to detect devices, and your device appears, right click on it and select install driver. You may have to click something else to get it to the "install driver" window, it's been forever since I've used the keyboard.

    At any rate, it's worth a shot ^^

    When you look at device manager do you see Microsoft Bluetooth under Bluetooth radios? If not, try disabling and enabling the generic bt option. If you don't have Bluetooth option make sure it's enabled in hardware.

    I could be confusing this with my work HP but I think there's a hardware switch, key toggle or bios setting. I don't have my G73 available to check.

    Cheers,
