I have upgraded from the gigabyte gtx 780 to the gigabyte r9 290x. I used guru3d's driver sweeper to get rid of the nvidia drivers, then right after that I installed the amd drivers. I have tried the latest driver and the beta driver multiple times and I still get the same issue. When I install the driver, I see the screen flashing while its updating and during that time the mouse is working just fine then when it is fully installed it goes back to giant cursor again.

I have enable shadowing on my mouse, and it has the pointer reduce in size. I thought I was in the clear, but when I hover the mouse over a text box it enlarges when the mouse changes to the text selection form (looks like a giant I in times new roman font). I am stumped. I looked everywhere and I cannot get it to go back to normal size.

Some one please help!

Hm...my computer has been in sleep mode multiple times when I leave it idle and i have restarted it about 5 times. I come back to it and it is the same way. Maybe I am just unlucky.

I turned off sleep mode in my computer though.

I guess one more shot at it wouldn't hurt. Stay tuned for the results!

Unless you are meaning that I have to manually put my computer to sleep instead of letting it do it automatically.

Then there is something that I might need to try.

or your problem is slightly different and this doesn't work for you.

I was actually just about to ask about that! I just now went into my bios set up and reverted back to factory defaults, but it did not seem to work. I was going to ask how to update the bios. I am not as computer savvy as I would like to be, so maybe if you know something about it could point me in the right direction.

I have the asrock 970 extreme 3 R2.0

if that is of any help.
