Second monitor Drawing Too Much Power?

[RaZoRaK]

So I just recently connected a secondary monitor to my PC and it works great. My only issue is that right as I got it, my mouse started acting up. It freezes for a second seemingly randomly and I think the monitor is causing it. I've tried testing it by turning off the monitor when the mouse lag started and it goes away in after a few seconds and comes back when the monitor is turned back on. I've tried searching for someone having the same issue but I haven't found anything. If anyone has information about this or a potential fix, it would be greatly appreciated.

It's literally impossible that there is "too much power". Most likely it's just that your graphics card can't handle the increased strain from doubling the resolution. Can't say anything without full system specs though.

Here's my specs:

GPU: EVGA GTX 980 Ti SC
CPU: Intel i5 4430 3.00GHz
Display: 1920 by 1080p at 144Hz

Also, I have an i7 4790K that I will be putting in my build soon.

The mouse freezing issue has gotten more severe, too. It kinda tones it down when I switch the USB that it's plugged into but it gets worse again after a while.

I was expecting a Core 2 duo with integrated graphics 😉

With that hardware the primary suspect is software, perhaps your mouse is a "gaming" type one? If so, try uninstalling the software for it and seeing if that fixes things
