My mouse has frozen a couple of times (or, more likely, lost power, since the LEDS go off) in Linux Mint 16.

It happened once while viewing a video on PC gamer, and once immediately after start up.

Unplugging and plugging back in does nothing--I've been forced to restart.

Has never happened before in over 10 months since the system was built.

Mouse is a Gigabyte M6900X / GM-M6980X wired gaming mouse.

Any ideas what might be causing this?
