just got my PC back from the place i purchased it, i was sure it was the motherboard however they ran some heavy testing over 3 days and it all checks out, so best guess is just weird compatibility issues between it and my specific mouse or keyboard, i bought a flash new mouse no dramas but really dont want to part with my 1st ed G15 keyboard it is just too damn cool
im pretty confused by the situation as i tested it with a differant mouse back when it started happening maybe it will be as simple as getting a powered hub instead.
anyways cheers for your insights Dark Mantis it was a thorny problem to diagnose
