System rebooting with mouse plugged in
This isn't a BSOD, but might as well be, so is probably the best fitting section for this.
I recently bought a new mouse (PowerCool Lightning), and if the mouse is plugged in to ANY USB port before the system is powered up, it will reboot during the Windows 7 Logo before it has chance to load, and go in to a bootloop. However if I boot up the machine without the mouse in, and then plug it in once Windows has loaded, it works fine.
I have done a fresh install of Windows 7, which hasn't helped, and I'm tempted to upgrade to W10 as I have a license but I'm worried that won't work, either. To see if it was a hardware issue I booted Linux as a LiveUSB, and Linux handles it fine. So it seems to be a Windows problem. All Event Viewer complains about is that there was a dirty shutdown.
