Hello all,

Recently my mouse just stopped working, and BEFORE you say "just get a new mouse" well I did. Two actually, and a bamboo tablet which works like a mouse.
Everything will work fine for a little while then out of no where the mouse cursor will just stay in one spot. I can left click/right click, but I cant move the cursor. It's been getting worse.

Before it lasted just a few seconds, now I havto restart the computer for it to work.

Yes, I uninstalled/reinstalled the mouse drivers and yes I formatted the PC.
 
check that your mb bios has all of the bug fixes. run hdtune and check that your drive is fine. if the drive or sata ports go bad it can look like a mouse issue. make sure your mb chipset drivers are updated. look for bent pins on the sata ports. check what plugged in to the usb ports to many devices or a iphone or ipod can pull to much voltage and lock up the usb ports. boot off a virus rescue cd see if there a virus. also do a malware byte scan. boot into safe mode see if pc locks up.
