my mouse pointer gets stuck

aniket87 · Jul 28, 2015

it has been a recent phenomena , My mouse pointer just gets stuck randomly and then resumes operation normally within seconds , What can be the cause i Have tried different mouses but the same problem .It even happens more when i overclock my cpu , it is g3258 on z97 mobo on a stock cooler although bringing it back to stock speeds reducing the stuttering but it still exists , on the side note i have total of 4.2TB of hdd loaded which is almost full and only 4gb ram can that be issue .any pointer will be a great help

regards

Does the pointer just get general stuck/stop or does it jump back to a certain area?

its all just gets random stuck ... no specific area that it jumps back too

I looked up the problem and found a person that solved it with changing Motherboard becaues it made the RAM to get error, so if you could run a memtest86 to see if you get anything wrong with them.

But before you go so far, have you tried to do some driver updates or Windows update?

i just got a new motherboard ...asus maximus ranger 7 ....... dont know if some thing is wrong but i removed some of my hdd .... bringing down my totalstorage to 1.2tb and things seem fine as of now ... and the rest of my 3tb of hdd was connected to the computer via usb 3.0 as is my mouse ...

If you have space in your PC to put your external 3TB HDD in the PC with a SATA connection, maybe that will help? and update drives that they support the USB 3.0

yep i can try that , but that will involve me to open the external hdds and connecting them via sata , that will definitely void the warranty .. i will update the usb 3 drivers ,will increasing the ram help ????

I dont think you'll have to get more RAM to fix it, if that was the question.

I dont know how confident you feel with yourself with hardware, but opening a HDD and then put it into a SATA connection is not a hard task.

When you open the HDD case you'll see the HDD connected to a USB-SATA adapter which you'll have to unplug, when the adapter is off then youre good to go to connect it to

The warranty license is up to you.

If you have the OS on a disk that write/read slow then thats probably the reason, but if that was not the OS disk, then i have no idea
