If substituting a different mouse, was it also cordless? Have you attempted using the current mouse connected via cable if feasible? Occasionally, this issue stems from an improperly positioned wireless receiver or another electronic component interfering with its signal. Verify your mouse driver is current, and I recommend inspecting Device Manager to confirm no devices are lacking drivers.
If the preceding steps fail and the wireless connection isn't the cause, I’ll propose investigating a different brand of RAM.

If the alternative mouse was also without wires, did you attempt to use the current mouse in a wired configuration? Occasionally, this issue stems from a poorly positioned wireless receiver or another electronic device interfering with its signal. Verify that your mouse’s driver is current and check Device Manager for any devices flagged as lacking drivers.
Should the above steps fail and the wireless connection isn't the cause, I suggest exploring a different brand of RAM. It’s standard practice for seasoned PC builders to consult the Memory Qualified Vendor List (QVL) to confirm compatibility between the RAM and motherboard.
I examined the QVL for the ASRock Z390 Pro4, and XPG is absent from the list. Like memory and power supplies, reliable components are crucial.

If you lack access to testing different RAM (perhaps through a friend or retailer), conduct a thorough Memtest86 scan with your XPG. Run all default tests, which can take over two hours; any errors should be absent.

I conducted a memory diagnostic on the RAM, which reported zero errors after I installed a new set of Corsair Vengeance LPX modules at 3000MHz. During testing, I observed that when Teamspeak3 is running and I move my mouse in Apex Legends, my GPU utilization decreases from 80% to below 20%. Closing Teamspeak3 restores the full GPU usage and significantly reduces lag. However, this effect doesn’t appear in games like Minecraft, although it does occur when a YouTube video is playing simultaneously in Chrome.
Yeah, well there are a lot of 3rd party softwares that don't work well with many games ,and teamspeak is one of them. Had you mentioned you were using such software while gaming I'd have told you to try running the game without it.
That said, it doesn't hurt to upgrade to a more well known, compatible RAM. I've been running Corsair Vengeance LPX on my rig for some time and it's rock solid. It's also pretty cheap lately, a lot cheaper than I got mine for.
I also don't get why you'd even want to run a YouTube video WHILE playing a game. Many will minimize a game of course if they're stuck in a spot to check a YouTube video, but playing a game WHILE watching a video is asking for too much.
Seems like what's going on is you need to know what a game can and can't handle. They aren't meant to be played while multitasking.
Absolutely, multitasking with other applications can negatively impact program performance; however, these issues are occurring to a minimal extent even without other programs active, and TeamSpeak shouldn’t be responsible for causing my game to experience hundreds of FPS drops when I move my mouse. On my older computer system, which was six years old, I could successfully run TeamSpeak alongside Apex while simultaneously displaying a YouTube video on a second monitor and playing Minecraft – so why isn't this functioning correctly now?
I performed a complete drive wipe/partition reset followed by a fresh Windows installation and tested with the new memory, but still encountered no resolution; therefore, I’m increasingly convinced that it’s stemming from another component, possibly the graphics card or CPU, or perhaps a faulty power supply unit. If there are any alternative troubleshooting steps you could recommend before initiating returns or testing replacement parts for these components, please let me know. Regardless, thank you very much for your assistance!
Let’s identify your power supply unit. Consider performing stress tests using AIDA64, OCCT, or the Heaven and Valley benchmarks – I've arranged them from most intricate to simplest. Furthermore, assuming your memory isn't faulty (and Corsair Vengeance instances are uncommon in that regard), it should successfully complete Memtest86 without any errors. Verify that your RAM is installed in the correct channels and firmly secured within its sockets, and configure the BIOS for XMP. To diagnose potential issues, test each module individually in the first slot to determine if one unit is indeed defective. Addressing this issue is paramount; it may indicate a motherboard problem if the memory appears functional yet continues to produce errors.
