</span>That sounds very much like hardware. Does the fan seem to be running<br>
more than it used to? If so open the back up and give it a good clean<br>
out with a vacuum cleaner.<br>
If that does not seem to help (or even if it does) try booting into<br>
the ram test and leave it going for a few hours to see if it shows any<br>
problems.<br>
<br>
As to the mouse, if it is battery driven then try a new battery,<br>
though hopefully you have tried that already. Otherwise try a<br>
different mouse.<br>
<br>
Do you see anything in syslog when it starts going wrong?<br>
