OK, so I've been having problems with my home desktop for several months now. I even bought a zippy new bare-bones system cuz I was due for one, and transferred a lot of the old hardware to the new machine. And I STILL was getting crazy crashes and dumb stuff happening. I could NOT figure out what the deal was.

I now have reason to believe it was the fucking MOUSE. I don't know how; I don't know why. But that's how it looks.

Computers are gay.

have you reloaded? i mean, completely reformatted?

Oh yeah, a few times. But last night the mouse cursor would just stop and start, and it crashed a couple of times w/ critical errors, so I changed to a ps/2 mouse and everything improved. I got a new usb trackball today, and everything's zippy as hell.

it could be a IRQ interrupt conflict might need to change some reserve IRQ settings in the bios for the USB ports. write out what things are on what IRQs there are 15
