    So today I purchased a razer Lycosa KB for my G73. The only reason I did was because this week I also purchased a monitor to go with my G73 and needed a KB so that my laptop and new monitor wasn't right in my face.

    So I don't know if this is right or not. But I think the KB is drawing a lot of power to run it. While its connected I'm getting random shutdowns. Heat isnt an issue. Got a blue screen briefly once with writing then it shutdown. Unplugged everything seems to be back to normal. Very strange.

    Can anyone share some insight on what this may be?

    I've had such a bad day this is the last time I buy anything branded Razer.
    Wanted the razer mamba real bad. So went and got one. I live in Australia so not every shops stocks Razer. Was pretty hard getting to the one that did. Got the Mamba took it home and found that the mini USB port in the back of the charging dock wasn't aligned properly and the USB couldnt connect to the dock. Also the Lyoas KB had about 12 keys not working. 2 faulty products grrr. And it got worse.

    Took them back for a refund replaced the keyboard fair and square, but as for the mouse they wnted to send it back to the US to get RMA'd ! Wouldnt give me my money back. So i kicked up a stink and sure enough got my cash hehe.

    So went down the road to their compteritor store and purchased a Mamba from there. I decided to check the product to make sure thatthe same problm wasnt plauging this one. But sure enough it was. Checked another from the store (only had to left in stock, the rest were committed to customers) and yup that one had the same problem. Obviously a bad batch of products. So thats the last time I'm dealing with razer products.

    Sorry about the rant I'm just in need of a vent haha.

    So yeah any idea why this KBis making my G73 shutdown randomly?
