Mouse cursor freezes and locks system daily (ongoing for months)
Periodically, lately it's at least daily, my mouse cursor freezes and the computer becomes unresponsive requiring cold boot. This sometimes happens even before I log on if I boot up and don't log on then come back later, the mouse may be frozen. It also happens while in idle and screen saver is running. I was running in Safe Mode w/ Networking today and it also happened.
The mouse I was using was a MS Wireless Mouse 5000. That one would just freeze. I accidentally destroyed it and am now using a MS Wireless ARC mouse instead. The only difference I notice is that the ARC mouse will occasionally pause the cursor in a spot for a second or two and then continue. However, it also will eventually freeze and lock system.
Not sure how to identify where the problem is. Please advise or instruct and I will get more info, perform tests, etc.
I've updated the NVIDIA driver recently to the latest one.
Thanks!
