    Xbox 360 Wireless Controller not connecting to PC


    Just got a new PC so had to resetup my xbox 360 controller with it. I've got the receiver plugged in and have installed all the drivers, however the xbox controller still won't pair. I click the pairing button on the controller and it starts searching, as soon as I click the button on the receiver it stops searching and all 4 green lights start flashing at once, but the controller doesn't connect.

    Anything I can do?

    I've gone into device manager and installed the drivers via there, and installed drivers via downloading them and still no go.

    :)

    I have tested to see if the controller was broken, but its not since it does connect to my xbox 360 slim without an issue.
