Re: mouse freezes and computer locks up
All kinds of things. Video drivers. Mouse drivers. Sound drivers. Actual
hardware problems.
Start by reducing video acceleration. Right click the desktop, select
properties. Go to the settings tab and hit the advanced button. For
diagnostic purposes, disable write combining and slide the performance
slider all the way left. This will rather dramatically impact video
performance negatively, but if this stabilizes things then it tends to
pretty much prove it's video and/or mouse related.

Re: mouse freezes and computer locks up
Running more than one program at the same time. You don't say how much
memory you have. If it's under 256 MB that is most likely the cause.
I recommend 512 MB of RAM.
