I load my laptop up everything is ok then the curser freezes.
Any Ideas?
-
Uninstall all your drivers and reinstall them.
-
Test your hard drive 9/10 chance it's failing. Backup your data now if you haven't already.
-
Your cursor freezes out of fear.
-
Reinstall the OS
-
"curser" sounds like what cockney kids would call wands in the Harry Potter universe.
-
Uninstall all your drivers and reinstall them.
How do I do that without logging in?
I literally get 30 secs after everything has come on

Safe mode?

Does the keyboard work? Use the keyboard to login. It might start loading the drivers and allow it to start working, if not you should reinstall using the device manager or whatever in Windows. I'm in linux mindin my own data, smokin on that Arnold Schwarzenegger. All day, all night, half pipe. Got that tech for technical difficulties.
If the keyboard is scared as well, you can try to start in safemode as stated above. Press f8 before the windows logo on boot, and select safe mode with command prompt and tell me how far you can get. (You will still have to login)

These suggestions are all retarded your drivers don't just randomly go bad.
What kind of computer is it desktop/laptop and what is the brand? Often times there are built in diagnostic tools which i guarantee will tell you your hard disk is taking a shit. I do this for a living trust me.
-
Sounds like a hardware issue to me.
Do what Spec said and see it you can navigate around using the keyboard.
The 30 seconds could be some electrical thing like a small battery giving all of it's power to allow it to work. But it could be other things as well.

It sounds like its fucked with viruses. Every time I've seen a failing / failed drive the computer never starts up fine and prompts you to do checkdisk.
- Back everything up
- Reinstall either with a cd or the recovery partition
- If its still fucked then go from there
-
this is why I don't use computers
-
Lawl almost all of these post are retarded.
Drivers can go bad as a result of an infection. I can almost guarantee if he booted a live CD right now everything would work hence not a hardware malfunction. Trust me I'm studying double major in EE and CSE 8======>

As zok jr. and SBTlauien pointed out, bad sectors on the hard drive could very well cause the mouse pointer to freeze. That's probably exactly what's causing it.

You need to study more if he booted from a live cd he wouldn't be using the hard disk and that's why it would be working correctly. You may be taking your 101 computer classes but i do this in the real world every day it's my job. I would bet everything i own ink a failing hard disk.
-
zok jr. is retarded, it's most likely a bad video driver. Install debian.
-
I'm not even going to begin to try to explain how retarded you are.
-
Just because he's retarded doesn't mean he isn't right.
-
retarded = wrong
-
retarded = wrong
Was Forrest Gump wrong? No. So, there.

These nigga's don't get it?
Wrong way down a one way.

Quick way to make sure it is or isn't an OS issue would be to download and burn a Live CD of some Linux distro. Ubuntu is easy. Boot from that. If it still locks up, it's hardware.
Sounds like a hardware issue, chip locking up or shutting down due to thermal problem. This would be the CPU, GPU or North Bridge. Start with the CPU. Take off the chip cooler, clean the thermal compound off with isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs. Apply some new quality thermal compound. A little dab on the chip is what I usually use, then dab it around with my fingertip until it's a thin even layer. Less is more in this case. The purpose is to fill any tiny voids between the metal surfaces. Too much and it forms an insulator. Some companies put on so much it looks like a birthday cake exploded in there. Test it out. If that didn't solve it, replace thermal compound on the other components that have coolers.

>Disassembling the computer before trying to reinstall the OS.
I'm not saying anyone is wrong about the possibility of hardware failure, but your jumping the gun.
Also as was stated a live cd won't help rule out hdd failure.

No because booting from a live cd bypasses the hard disk which it most likely is.
If the problem were overheating, thermal protection would kick in and the computer would simply shut off unless it runs a bios from the 1980s.

Also north/south bridge and integrated graphics chip use a thermal shim not grease if anything at all.
