System notes: CPU shows lag spikes during startup. Programs load slowly, causing delays and freezing of the mouse for a few seconds. This happens regardless of which program starts. I replaced the SSD after initial issues but the problem persists. After switching to Windows 10, the issue continues. The mouse appears to freeze in place during operation. No crashes reported, but performance remains inconsistent. Testing on hard drive and memory passed, but I’m unsure what’s causing the lag now.
Are the RAM modules installed in dual-channel slots, specifically slots 2 and 4?
They are located in slots 2 and 4, but it doesn't specify whether they're a duel channel or single channel. It mentions they can be overclocked but clarifies they're running stock settings. Besides four color options, the Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 memory kit supports Dual Channel and Quad Channel configurations. You can select various speeds, from 2133MHz to 4400MHz, and storage sizes from 8GB up to 128GB (16GB per stick).

Thanks for the assistance @boggy77. It appears the mouse stays functional longer now compared to before, and it seems to resolve the issue mainly during startup and software installation. It doesn’t work at other times, such as when playing games. If you have any more suggestions, I’d be happy to try them out—I haven’t experienced a system freeze in this manner before.
