That's a big fat clue that suggests that software ain't your 
problem and that you need to check out the hardware. 
Try your mice in other known good computers. 
Look inside your problem computer for bulged caps, 
fans that don't spin fast, and heat sinks clogged with dust. 
Do same for the power supply. 

Run memtest. Beware of confusing symptoms with causes. 

Its amazing how much craziness bad caps can cause.
