Ok so I have Vista..and my computer isn't very old, 3-4 months tops. Anyways, about a week ago there was a knocking-like noise in my CPU..so I restarted and haven't heard the noise since. Lately though my mouse would just freeze up then unfreeze. Yesterday it would just freeze up and it would kind of unfreeze..but I would try and click on something, and would need to click on it 6-7-8 times before it would respond. I have a wireless mouse..so I was thinking maybe my mouse/keyboard was the problem so I bought a brand new mouse and keyboard today, but alas I'm still having the same problems. Then I tried to restore my computer back to a months time (because my computer worked great a month ago) but I'm still having these problems. :( Does anybody know what I can do? Thanks

If its only 3 to 4 months old it should be under warranty. I would call where ever you got it from

You may have alot of processes running in the background. or it could be spyware related. Try booting into safe mode and see if everything is any better. If so, that tells me that you have a program running in the background that is probably spyware using up all your resourses. if you wish to check your processes when your mouse is acting up just press ctrl+alt+del and click the proceses tab. go down the list and look for any programs with high numbers beside them. If you find one, right click on the offending name and click (end process) if that works and things go back to normal (until you reboot again) you should get a spyware program and scan your computer.

I can give you a number for Vista support the problem sounds like it could be software related and you may need to run a complete recovery to find out if it is Hardware or software . If a complete recovery doesn't solve the issue then it is hardware and you need to call the company that manufactured the unit to set up a claim
