Mouse freezes on initial boot

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I am running XP Pro and when I cold boot the mouse is frozen after the
computer starts. I have to reset and upon rebooting the mouse works fine.
The only recent changes to the machine are a CPU upgrade from 1.6gz to 2.4 gz
and the normal MS security updates. I am guessing that there is a driver
conflict somewhere somehow but the device manager shows no conflicts. I am
thinking about printing out a bootlog to see if it shows a problem. If
anyone has a suggestion I would greatly appreciate any help. BTW mouse is
Intellepoint optical 2.0

I checked and I am running the latest bios version. The mobo manual says it
supports 1.5 through 2.0 GHz "and upwards" I guess I can put the 1.6 cpu back
in and see if the problem continues. Thanks again for your suggestion

You are exactly right. Mobo could not handle the CPU even with a bios
upgrade. New mobo and a lot of reinstalling and all works great. Thanks for
the help.
