I got a PC 4 years ago and now I have updated the mobo and the cpu

but from the very first day (and after the update as well) it hangs, from time to time (say, once a day, or now, after the update, even more).

The cursor gets stuck in a place and the system doesn't respond to any keystroke or mouse-movement. Is dead!

I suspect It has to be a keyboard incompatibilty, maybe a mouse one... but,... how to check?

thanks

thanks

Download and run a memory checker.

Memtest has an ISO for creating a CD

some weeks ago I brought the computer to a customer service. the diagnostic was that RAM was OK.

At the same time, I had run memtest for 24 hours and nothing was reported

thanks

could the mouse be the reason for the hunging? Many times (but not all of them) the system hungs when I was moving FAST the mouse ...

thanks
