I've an SFF desktop (HP 8200) and i've a USB wireless mouse (unbranded) that occasionally becomes unresponsive and requires the unplugging and replugging of the dongle.I decided to give the PC a boost with a GT710, recommended on many forums for its low power consumption.When it's in the PC though the mouse is conking out constantly to the point of unusability.Logitech keyboard is fineAny idea why that may be? I like the mouse, it's ergonomic, but one of them is going to have to go unless there's a potential solution.As I type I wonder may it be worth trying the dongle in a hub so it's further from the card.....?

Try changing the video resolution. It's possible interference from theHDMI/Displayport signalling is interfering with the 2.4GHz mouse. Changingresolution (or frame rate) would change the harmonics of the signallingfrequency.That's worth a try too. Also USB 3 can interfere with cordlessmice/keyboards. I don't suppose you have any USB 3 devices? If you'reusing a hub, try a USB 2 one.Theo

Thanks for all the replies, some good info in there, some way over my head.

I speak to soon, got a couple of hours but now it's off on one again.

As piss about any further moving stuff around i'll try to find a similar mouse with a ####ing wire.

I'm sure there's something amiss in this place when it comes to wireless/wifi.

I'm in the attic at work 2 floors up from the microwave, so I hope it's not that! Timing would make sense though.
