Issues with my computer/mouse?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:You didn’t mention any codes in the BSOD, but I will take guess, and say that this is a driver issue. It’s not your mouse or keyboard. Try booting from an OS disk, and running the “Repair Windows” applet. If you can get Windows to boot, then use device manager to see if there are any drivers which can be updated. You might also be able to get back to normal with System Restore, which will be one of your “Repair” options.
