Hello there! This is the first time I find myself asking for help on an internet forum so I really don't know what to do any more. The computer was working until yesterday, ocasionally reseting (it had been doing that for a while, but it was once every two or three weeks) so I ran a virus scan...

Hey! :p I just reinstalled Win 7 U. 64 and thought it would be a good time to do a defrag to my C: drive. It was needed.... But after it was done my mouse cursor startet to act a bit strange. Every 5 seconds it blinks with the "working in the background" cursor. And it is EVERY 5 seconds no...
