So, I just put together a desktop computer for the first time and noticed that after an hour or so of being turned on my mouses' cursor will track ineffectively and will lag as well as move or glitch to a new position (not more than an inch on my 23 inch monitor). Also when I make a window smaller and drag it around on the desktop it will also lag behind and sort of glitch. I have searched online for hours now to figure it out but nothing has helped. I have the latest driver for my video card but haven't touched any of the nvidia setting but I don't think that matters yet. I also have not done anything with OC'ing yet. I haven't installed anything besides my antivirus, cc cleaner, defragger, and asrock drivers, windows updates, etc... Any help will be greatly appreciated!
some of the components I have:
- i7 3770K
- GTX 680 2GB
- ASRock extreme6 z77
- 16 gb gskill RAM at 2133
- corsair hx850
- corsair h100i
- velociraptor 500gb hdd
- 256 gb ssd for fsx

| I have the same problem! However my windows drive is pretty much dead so I'm guessing that may have something to do with it on my side...

Have you swapped the mouse? ....or moved that mouse to a different computer to make sure it isn't the problem? Does it do the same thing in other USB ports?
Will it do the same thing if you place a white sheet of printer paper underneath the mouse? ...sometimes the desk surface messes with laser mice. What about cleaning the laser lens?
Just some things that came to mind.

The mouse works fine because I used it with my laptop previously. I tried changing USB ports and it still does the same thing. Same with a different surface... I have a feeling something may be overheating but what kind of temps do i look for? What are normal temps at idle for my components? Could it be something to do with the RAM? I have no idea..?

Restart you computer and get into BIOS (usually by pressing DELETE or F12) .... look for "PC Health" or something similar. Your temps will be there. Depending on a variety of factors an idle computer will idle some where between 30-40 degrees Celsius.
When you are in BIOS does the mouse move around smoothly? ...I just upgraded my computer as well with nearly identical specs (except I went with a Gigabyte Z77 board). If you suspect RAM problem take three sticks out and boot the computer. If all is well shutdown and swap sticks.
How many watts is your power supply?

26C is a great temp! ....sorry I couldn't be of help. I doubt this has anything to do with RAM though.

What kind of mouse do you have? Its uncommon, but sometimes you need drivers for the mouse; especially if it is wireless. You also mentioned that you used it with a laptop, so I am assuming it is wireless. I have had problems in the past with wireless mice for laptops having extremely low range so that could be a problem. You never mentioned if you tried another mouse and got the same problems.

Ok so I'm pretty sure I figured out that it was just a connection issue. I plugged the USB drive for the mouse into the front drive and so far everything runs smooth.. I think I just way over thought the problem and hopefully it ends up working fine but thanks for the help
