Windows 7: Another mouse freezing

Brand new build (about 1 week old) with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and I get periodic mouse (Intellimouse 2.0 wireless) and keyboard freezes. When it does I have no choice but to use the power button to shut down.

Then on restart if I try a normal start it will just hang at the black starting windows screen. Repair start never finds anything and ultimately I have to use system restore to return it to normal operation.

Tried everything I can think of. It's so sporatic a clean boot is kind of useless. It can go for days with no issues then it just seems to occur out of nowhere, like this morning just opening an email it froze up.

This is getting really old...

Do you get system errors around the same time (in event viewer)?
Have you tried different ports? (usb)

Tell me where to look precisely if this is not he right information and I can better answer you on the system errors. Looking at the event log and I see from today:

Session "Homegroup Log" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035 **(2 occurences)**
Session "" failed to start with the following error: 0xC000000D

Yes tried different usb ports. I also have a Wacom tablet attached which too is frozen when this occurs.

Has anyone tried this fix?

A computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 stops responding randomly

well it does sound driver related, running windows updates could help.

Do you have any (!) icons in your device manager?

Nothing in device manager, all the drivers are up to date. No ram errors either under memtest and under MS. It seems like this is a very common issue from everything I've read.
