On mouse moven the mouse pointer gets stuck randomly

Hello,

I'm a computing science engineer, and there is something that is driving me nuts in one of my PCs.
This one runs Windows 7 ultimate 32, but the issue was the same with Vista (this is why I have upgraded this machine to 7)
This is a desktop PC with ASUS mother board.
I spend a lot of time googling this question, but I could not find any answer that could solve the issue.
The mouse of this PC get stuck in a random fashion..
I have test with 5 different mouse brand, wireless, not wireless ... no way to get rid of the issue ...
I put the mouse into another USB PCI card : same behavior
Checked device manager, all Ok
Checked IRQ, all OK
Windows logs : all fine, even not a warning.

The mouse uses the generic microsoft driver

ie :
mouclass.sys 06/21/2006
mouhid.sys 06/21/2006
version is 6.1.7600.16385


Any idea to get rid of it ? This is very annoying.

Thanks

I will try to help. First off let stick with one mouse that is known to work on another Windows 7 computer. Let us know what mouse that is and how it hooks to the computer. Complete a Windows 7 Update and see if any drivers are indicating needed. Windows 7 comes with just about ever mouse driver that might be needed.
Please explain what you mean by a sticking mouse.

can you try going to start, search "mouse" and open up the pointer options, should look like this:

Make sure the speed is around the center of the scale and enhance pointer precision is selected.

Other things to note, which has been brought up already is the HDD possibly failing.

Also how much free ram is available when you look in the Task Manager? Is there any application using high cpu % over a long period of time?

- HDD possibly failing : i should see something into windows logs : nohing, no HDD timeout

The windows log may not show it actually! I was hoping if you could look at the S.M.A.R.T. Data, or test the hdd with a utility such as PartedMagic.
If you are interested in using Parted Magic to check the HDD health, just let me know and I will guide you through it.

- This is a 2Gb ram system -no so much- but I do not see any relationship, except page pooling and HDD failure ?

Well, the reason I ask is because of Paging File, where if the computer is running low on RAM, it will swap some memory contents to the hard drive. So if the Hard drive is dying, this would also make the system slow and unresponsive.

- CPU% is low, but I need to check when this is happenning (this is a 2 core CPU system), may be too high kernel times ? but it also happenned once into a i7 and 8Go ram 8 core system, but it dissapeared (not THIS pc I'm talking about)

Hmm, usually if there is no resource intensive application running, this shouldn't happen.


First can you start by posting the system specifications as instructed by Layback Bear.
Then we will be able to know what type of HDD it is.

Do you know which drive you have the OS installed on?
