Find another optical mouse and see if it can operate properly on your computer, if it can, the problem lies in your mouse, maybe be it's incompatible with other hardware.
If the other mouse fails too, try reinstalling your operating system and the drivers, upgrade the necessary drivers too.

Some optical mce do that to save power & are often problematic with standby mode.
Call Dell for advice on it .
