Mouse Cursor stops moving..

[cameronh779]

I cant tell if its a short in the wire. Ive tried the fix about going to virtual memory and changing those settings. Its simply just a very short stop while im moving the cursor around. Almost if it lags behind the movement. I've tried USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports. Its an old Dell mouse and I cant even afford to get a 5$ mouse right now with the way things are. It ypically spend free time playing FPS and this is making it to where i cant even do the thing I enjoy. Not sure what it could be. The mouse could be fine for 10-15 seconds and ill say. well okay its better. But then it will do it again shortly after.

Also, I remember there used to be a Peripherals subforum a while back here?

Try a soft uninstall from Device Manager and reboot.
Don't add 3rd party driver for mouse, use the Windows based HID driver.

I did this as well. :/

Its just an old Dell optical so I dont use any 3rd party drivers.

You are running a steady overclock long term. When have you last checked voltage readings: 12v, 5v, 3.3v.
I'm thinking USB voltage is off, if it is not a cable wire gone bad.

Clean the optical sensor or Rollers, use a texturized mousemad that is not reflective.

I dont have a voltage reader so how do I go about doing this? Also, this is a new problem.

I have a rocketfish hard pad that has a control side and a speed side. My light seemed to be reflecting on the speed side so I flipped it over to the control side. No problems so far. I will keep things updated.

You can use a software solution (much debated, not the best or most accurate) for a quick look at voltages. HWinfo (green box one): https://www.hwinfo.com/download.php

When you run program check box for sensors only, scroll down to where you see voltages.
There is an acceptable range of +/- 5%. https://www.lifewire.com/power-supply-voltage-tolerances-2624583
