hang/freeze with weird mouse cursor issue
Hello all, I am having a hang/freeze issue with my custom build. It occurs intermittently; seems like it does it one day and not the next. The symptoms:
- mouse cursor seems to get stuck in certain cursor shapes. By this I mean if I mouse over a text field the cursor might go to the "I" shaped text cursor and stay that way, even after the mouse leaves the field; or if I mouse over a hyperlink the cursor might turn into the pointing hand and stay that way, even after the mouse moves away
- I sometimes get hangs that last from 5 to 30 seconds where the mouse will not move and nothing is happening on the screen. I have not noticed this in games, mainly when browsing the internet or moving files/folders around in explorer
- probably unrelated, but in the name of completeness: I am having a lot of crashes (of the game) in Starcraft 2. It seems like around half the time when I try to start the game, it fails to launch, and I can't alt out then back in without it crashing, and it crashes at other times as well. Have tried reinstalling with no success
So far I haven't had any system crashes or blue screens, but a few times the hang has lasted so long that I just did a hard reset. Have used memtest to check the RAM, everything came back good there. I am about to run a checkdisk on my OS drive as well. Happy to provide any additional information that might help.
Thanks for reading!
