I posted this in general but will post it here as well. My computer will randomly prevent me from being able to click on anything. I can still move the mouse around and even highlight and drag stuff. When I right click I see the highlight box, but it appears a bit slowly.
One interesting thing to note is that my hard drive is very loud(WD Raptor 150gb) and I can tell it stops working when this happens. Thinking that it might be the drive, I used the windows tool check it for errors. None where found, however I'm not gonna rule it out since its an old hard drive.
I left the computer on for a while and it doesn't solve it. Task manager won't open and if I try to log out the computer will lock up.
I can still ctrl + alt + del and I see the screen with options(which I CAN click). However clicking any option ends in a loop where nothing happens.
Anybody have an idea of what's causing this?
