I can't for the love of god figure this out. When starting my computer, sometimes when I open an application, my computer comes to a halt. These things happen:

-Pressing a button on my mouse produces a beep for the down press and another beep for the up press.

-If it's bad enough, just moving the mouse will produce a beep. But that hasn't happened for a while.

-Keyboard typing is laggish. It types what I type but one letter per 5 seconds about.

-System still loads in the background. People on mumble/skype can still talk in real time. Youtube still plays and buffers fine.

To fix it I just have to keep restarting my computer and trying the same thing until it doesn't happen. Does anyone know what would cause this or how to diagnose it?

The puzzling part is that it only happens on start up but you don't give much to go on but

Check your MSCONFIG and disable the start up programs (if you're happy to do so) which you don't need.

Check your Task Scheduler to see if anything is being kicked off on start

These are things to check any way although I'm less confident as your issue is only on start up:

Update your BIOS

When you can get on your machine and the mouse works as expected, update your drivers (or even roll them back for the keyboard/mouse)

Borrow another keyboard/mouse and see if the problem persists.

Use different USB ports for keyboard and mouse (assuming they're both USB).

If this still fails, it could be a faulting motherboard!
