Mouse cursor moving slowly
Mouse cursor moving slowly
Yesterday I had to move rooms in my house, which meant I had to transfer my PC to another location. Usually I would reinstall everything exactly as before, keeping the cables in the same positions. However, for some reason, my PC started experiencing issues—my audio was crackling and stopped working, and my mouse was lagging. The lag persists even when I move it from left to right; sometimes it pauses and tries to catch up, which is hard to describe but frustrating. I've tried everything: updated drivers (NVIDIA and others), cleaned the mouse, installed Windows updates, and reconnected everything. Despite these efforts, the mouse lag remains a problem.
My system details:
- Motherboard: H310M
- CPU: i5-9400f
- GPU: GeForce GTX 1650
- RAM: 16GB
I've tested three different versions of GPU drivers, but the issue continues. I'm using Windows 10 Pro and have been trying everything for the past two days. It makes most games unplayable and is really annoying to constantly adjust my mouse. Thanks for your help—I'll keep sharing more details if you need them.
It seems the problem might relate to the chipset. There could be motherboard damage, which often starts with affected USB or Ethernet ports. Various factors could be at play, such as corrupted chipset drivers, failing chipsets, bad connections, oxidation, or voltage issues. If all ports behave similarly across all mice, a dying or damaged motherboard is likely the cause. The audio distortion is another sign of chipset problems. Without reinstalling drivers/bios or verifying all physical connections, it's hard to find a solution.
I received an update, I started in safe mode and the issue disappeared, I'm confident it will return when I switch back to normal mode, which suggests it's likely not a hardware problem.
This could signal a potential software problem. It might be wise to remove any non-essential programs.
PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?
Power down, unplug, open the case.
Remove dust and debris.
Confirm that all connectors, cards, RAM, jumpers, and case connections are securely positioned.
Examine with a bright flashlight for any damage signs: exposed conductors, melted insulation, twisted or pinched wires, corrosion, discolored spots, swollen parts, cracks, loose screws, bent supports, inspect the I/O panel inside and outside for misalignments.
Maybe something slipped during the relocation.

Think about adding a new CMOS battery according to the User Guide/Manual. Just to rule it out.
And remember to back up all crucial files at least twice, storing them in separate locations away from the PC. Make sure the backups can be recovered and read.
Just in case...
Not much is coming to mind..
Hardware functionality only works on a very basic level in safemode, so I wouldn't rule out hardware completely. But that is otherwise another prominent indication of a driver issue.
Consider uninstalling chipset/audio drivers in safe mode, reinstalling with alternate versions if possible.
The only other thing, as a last resort would be to reseat your ram and perform a cold boot.
I've tried everything as well, but it didn't help. Even after resetting my PC, the issues persist. The audio keeps cracking, and when I play games, the problem worsens—audio distortion and lag become more noticeable. My computer seems to be constantly failing, and the performance drops significantly during gameplay.
Search for any loops in the setup: Device A linked to Device B, then to Device C, followed by Device C to Device D, and finally back to Device A. This could involve electrical power, audio, video, or peripheral connections. It might help to sketch a diagram displaying all devices and their current connections. Don't forget to consider wall outlets, UPS units, surge protectors, and power strips in your review. Look for any modifications made between the original setup and the new configuration.
So, completely forgot to update you guys on the situation, I kinda find out the problem, anytime HDMI input is being used mouse lags, audio glithces. I got 1 DP input, 1 HDMI input and a VGA one, VGA has been broken for years so it's unusuable, DP is being used by main monitor, so second monitor goes to HDMI, but as I said any time I'm using HDMI Input on any monitor the problem occurs, doesn't matter what monitor is, doesn't matter the cable, if it's being used by itself or with 2 monitors problem occurs. So Idk if that's a hardware issue or if there is something I can do to fix it.
