9) Error - i recently formatted my HD because i picked up a problem with my mouse and keyboad. in games and other things that seem to put more strain on my system than just net browsing etc my comp would just seem to freeze quite frequently like something was really working hard, then carry on again, but my HD wasnt working at all. i put it down to bad drivers (i had recently tried installing some new 3dfx underground drivers but went back to the x3dfx ones). the problem got worse soon after when in games (the only time the problem happens) i found that sometimes, after these freezes, my mouse and/or my keyboard would just stop responding and carry on with the last input (ie walk forward etc). another variation of this is that sometimes my mouse would, to put it simply, go insane. moving the mouse an inch in any direction would would make the cursor move about completely random and very quickly about the screen while at the same time clicking and right clicking (this is just from movement). obviously this pissed me off abit so i wiped my HD and reinstalled limited bits of software and games and set up my pc again. but im still getting the problem. im completely out of ideas. does anyone have any idea what it could be? another peice of info is that i picked up a virus not long before this (tho i dont think its what caused this) named bat/munga but my virus scanner claimed to have fixed it, plus the virus apparently doesnt do anything like this
thanks in advance
