Question Mouse cursor lagging a lot

[drodi4]

So, yesterday I had to change rooms in my house so I had to get my PC to the other room, so normally I just reinstalled everything in the new place exactly like it was before, same cables in the same inputs, but for some reason my PC started to show some problems, like my audio was crackling (it stopped) and my mouse was lagging, the mouse lag is still going on, if I move my mouse from left to right, sometimes it will stop and try to catch up to where it should've been, kinda difficult to explain it but I hope you all got it, i have tried everything, updated drivers (nvidia and all other drivers), cleaned my mouse, windows updates, have re-connected everything back on and all looks great, but mouse lag still very much present.

My specs:

Motherboard: H310M
CPU: i5-9400f
GPU: GeForce GTX 1650
RAM: 16gb
Have tried 3 different versions of GPU drivers, problem still persist.
Windows 10 pro

Have tried everything these past 2 days, don't know what else it could be, it makes all games pretty much unplayable and it's just hella annoying having to readjust my mouse. Anyways appreciate the help, and if you need more info lmk.

Sounds like a chipset issue. Possible motherboard deterioration. USB/Ethernet ports are usually the first to be affected by motherboard failures.

It could be a number of things, corrupted chipset driver, dying chipset. Poor connections/oxidization/voltage problems.

Though if ALL ports behave this way for ALL mice, it may very well be a dying/damaged mobo. The audio crackling is another hallmark of chipset issues.

Short of reinstalling/updating drivers/bios and checking all wired connections, I'm at a loss for ideas.

I have an update, i booted in safe mode and the problem is now gone, i'm sure once i boot in normal mode it'll comeback again but i guess that means is not a hardware problem

That might be a promising development. Hopefully that is indicative of a software issue.

Might pay to get rid of any and all non-critical applications.

I also did that, nothing changed, any other ideas?

PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Power down, unplug, open the case.

Clean out dust and debris.

Verify by sight and feel that all connectors, cards, RAM, jumpers, and case connections are fully and firmly in place.

Use a bright flashlight to inspect for any signs of damage: bare conductor showing, melted insulation, kinked or pinched wires, corrosion, browned or blackened areas, swollen components, cracks, loose or missing screws, bent supports, check inside and outside of the I/O panel for any misalignments.

Hopefully something just came loose during the move.

= = = =

Consider installing a fresh CMOS battery per the User Guide/Manual's instructions. Just as a matter of elimination.

And, as always, ensure that all important files are backed up at least 2 x to locations away from the PC in question. Verify that the backups are recoverable and readable.

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.

Have tried all that also unfortunately it didn't work, even resetted my pc and it's still giving me problems, also the audio crackling problem has comeback any time I play a game, feels like my PC is always about to give out, and when I start playing something the audio crackling and mouse lags gets much worse

Look for loops:

Device A connected to Device B connected to Device C connected to Device D connected to Device A again.

Any sort of loop: electrical (power), audio connections, video connections, peripheral connections.

You may need to draw a diagram that shows all devices and existing connections.

Include wall outlets, UPS's, surge protectors, power strips - leave nothing out.

Try to identify something that was changed between the original location/connections and the new location/connections.
