hi everybody
my computer has been freezing for no reason (not bsod... just freeze... where nothing works except that the mouse can move around)
i have an epox mobo 8k7a, crucial ram, ati radeon ve, enermax 350ps, logitech cordless keyboard and mouse
it usually freezes when the mouse is moving to somewhere... it has been freezing from light loads (just chatting on aim) to heavy loads (multiple programs)... i tried reseating all the cards, checking all connection... also it doesnt seem to the a heating problem since it might even happen right after i turned on my computer...
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... if u need any further info... just ask and i will post... thanx
thanx again...

do you have a usb mouse? do you have the latest 4 in 1's installed? read up at www.usbman.com, via chipsets have major issues with usb, there are some workarounds however that are listed in detail on the site. Also what OS?

<< logitech cordless keyboard and mouse >>




You did try new batteries and installed the latest drivers for them?
