Mouse Hangs Intermittently...

[L33M]

I searched this forum and couldn't find anything on this. My mouse hangs intermittently and randomly for about 2-3 seconds no matter what I'm doing program-wise. It does this with whatever mouse I try (3 different brands). I've tried re-installing the drivers, using the XP default driver, changing USB ports and using the USB/PS2 converter into the PS2 port. Nothing so far has fixed it. There is no conflicting component on its IRQ (12).

This is not the system in my sig. Here are the specs...

Abit IC7-G
P4 @ 3.2GHz
2x1GB Corsair DDR400
BFG 6800 Ultra
1x WD IDE HDD
2x Maxtor SATA HDDs
Enermax 450W
WinXP Home SP2

Nothing is overclocked, temps are fine.

i'd suggest to test your mouse with another OS, try a linux LiveCD, if u have problems in that OS, then u might have a problem with your mobo

keep your task manager open in graphic view or sorted by cpu usage, that should shed some light on whats running

My friend had the same problem with this board. A BIOS update fixed his problem.

OK, Task Manager shows "System" popping up when the mouse hangs. It stays active for maybe one second and seems to come at the end of the hang, so I'm not sure if it's the cause or the effect.

This pic does not show when "System" is active. It happens so fast I can't capture it.
