Hi MHz,
This is my son's system. The problems are intermittent in nature. That is
that the light on the mouse will go out for a second or two, and the mouse
will not respond. It does not require a reboot to get the mouse back, it
comes back by itself. Other than the video card, we have a D-Link NIC card
and an Adaptec DuoConnect IEEE/USB2.0 card installed. The D-Link has been
since we built the system in 2002, the Adaptec card has been installed since
12/2003. I will look at the bios first, not sure what version is in there.
I will get back with a follow-up.
Thanks
Tony
