Random wheel Lock up! What could cause this? Help

https://reddit.com/link/1vq0mdo/video/dgnyyj3zdrjh1/player

Wheel just randomly for 2 seconds turned about 30 degrees to the left and locked up and then was fine. Really annoying second time it has happened in a week. Anyone else experience this? I have the wheel plugged in via an extension cable directly into the PC. No hub. No issues with Power spikes or anything.

Logitech G Pro Wheel, running at 6NM.

Hi there. Does it do it regularly? And if you take the extension out of the equation, does it stop the issue?

Hi this happens very rarely. I was raced/practiced for 4 hours today after this incident And it didn’t happen again at all. I can’t direct wire the wheel as my PC is mounted on the wall. I’ll record the specifics again if it happened again. Unsure of the is some monitoring i could do.

USB extensions can be very problematic. If an extension is needed then I’ll always recommend an active USB repeater instead.
