He looks pretty scary, but he came across as really nice.
He was just softening you up for a bumming.

fatherjack - sounds like a complete motherboard wipeout to me. if you have a spare motherboard that matches your components - then try it. seeing as the mose problem, graphics card AND ram are all main parts of the mobo (sounds kinda silly as everything is connected to the motherboard) and i also had the problem of my cursor dissapearing when i had my 865PERL, upgraded and all is fine.
pixie pie - i also have the same problem when windows boots, my mouse doesnt function. its wireless labtec though, and what works for me is that i dont press any of the buttins ormove the mouse when my computer is booting, otherwise it takes me a restart or two to get it working.

You may have a point, as the BIOS battery on this one has gone, I've been meaning to replace it. It's only an inconvenience when there's a power cut, but I had forgotten about it.

Me and my big mouth.
Just had a (very brief) power cut. Bizarrely it fixed pro-belm 1 (the 'press F4' not the message or the actual error)

just thinking, do you have a surge protector on your pc? if you have frequent power outs it might be a good idea to get one

consider picking a cheap UPS up too, it'll give you long enough to shut down safely, and will help regulate the power better than a surge protector.

I had a quite expensive UPS, which caught fire. I wouldn't leave one plugged in all the time after that, which kind of defeats the purpose. I'm sure it was one-off and possibly due to it's age, but finding my room full of (very) acrid smoke in the morning was rather a scare.
