so the problem started some time ago - my computer will randomly stop detecting my usb mouse through any usb port. usually unplugging it and replugging does the trick. sometimes it doesnt - very annoying. i've changed all my hardware except CPU and hard drives, so i'm at a loss for what could cause problems. i've OCed my cpu, but not extensively (highest i've gone was 2.2ghz maybe, but that wasnt stable so i stayed at 2.0 for a while).

any ideas on how to fix this?

i plugged in my old mouse (i bought a new one, thought it might be the mouse) and its working for now, so that's how i posted :)
