It seems like I broke a mouse when I was cleaning it (Alcohol and Q-tips). I always leave it plugged in because it's just a quick cleaning around the ball, it's always fine. But I think I might've gotten a bit much alcohol that time, like it might have leaked into the mouse. After I finished I noticed the mouse didn't work. Restart computer, replug, different USB port, etc didn't fix it. Got a new mouse, plugged it into the same USB port the other one was in, it worked. But then I noticed that the computer freezes when I move the mouse, Specifically Call Of Duty (the first one), Portal, and I think all Source Engine games, and some other games' menus. Those are the only ones I have that it freezes with, I don't play many other games, Doom 3 and Quake 4 are fine, so it seems to be engine-based, Like Source doesn't work but Idtech4 works. No other program freezes, and the games run fine when I don't move the mouse, and they ran fine before the other mouse broke. I plugged another mouse into one of the front USB ports (The others were in the back) and it froze with it too. It sure seems like the mouse breaking caused it, but I have no idea how..
