Jumping mouse

Having problems with mouse control. Sometimes when I click, the system more or less locks up. The mouse pointer jumps all over the screen and can not be controlled. I have to turn the PC off and reboot, but then it usually happens again within 5 minutes. Also, I used to have Fatal Exception errors frequently, but they have let up in exchange for the mouse problem. Any help is appreciated.
