My mouse had this problem after I got my new computer a while back, where it would get stuck on the screen, not stop working but act funny, getting stuck on part of the screen unable to move to the bottom half by an invisible barrier. I thought it was the mouse, so some time later, I got a new mouse. For a while I didn't see the problem happen. But then it did, does anyone have any idea what this could be? I've had several hard drive wipes during this time, so there's no way it's software.

I'm not really sure, but it might help someone else if you provide some more information. PC hardware including the mice, both old and current one. Do you notice any pattern to when it occurs? Like what you are doing at the time on the computer. Does it only occur while certain programs are running, etc.

Is the mouse plugged directly into the motherboard or to the front panel? Is it plugged into a USB hub? Software/drivers up to date, especially USB drivers?

Well the current mouse is a REFURBRISHED Razer Naga, and the original one was a Mad Catz Rat 9. I have always had both of them plug directly into the motherboard. Even after all this time I still haven't really found a pattern of when it occurs. It seems to be pretty random. I keep my service list, and startup pretty clean. I didn't really build this computer too well, it was my first one and it has had quite a few mishaps, many crashes, hardware failure that requires replacement (hard drive and motherboard), and my fear was that it is something I did while messing with the parts and isn't fixable. Although this is the third motherboard and I want to say it started with the first one but I can't remember if it went back that far.

This computer is a modified Dell XPS 8700

Just for reference the current parts are as follows:

CPU: (Stock) I7-4770 (not to be confused with (I7-4770K)

GPU: GTX 970 SLI 2x

Memory: (Stock) 12gb some samsung sticks or something.

Hard drive: Western Digital 3 TB Black

I'm not sure what the stock motherboard was, it was very basic. The one I replaced it with is the Asus Maximus VII Hero. Later on I installed a new CPU fan, because the old one was crap. I messed up and caused a ton of hardware failure, that caused my hard drive to crash, and I couldn't play games until I figured out why my computer would crash when playing them, eventually I figured out it was the motherboard, so I just got the same one. Haven't had problems with that since.
