Soft lockups and strange mouse cursor problem
Hi,
My Windows 7 machine has recently (since earlier today) developed an annoying habit of locking up briefly (3-5 seconds usually) as well as having the mouse cursor disappearing/not defaulting back to the arrow pointer. The lockups don't force me to do a manual restart and it hasn't BSODed yet.
My specs are:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
12 gig DDR3 memory
Intel i7 950 3.07GHz processor
120 gig SSD main drive
NVIDIA GeForce 460 GPU
I ran a rootkit detector that found 2 issues and initially fixed the problem but it has since returned in the last few hours and makes life very difficult. I've updated my GFX driver and checked my SSD/HDD health, which is all ok.
I've run out of ideas and hope someone can help me out!
