First of all, apologies if this is the wrong thread! Onto the problem…
My laptop has been having many troubles, ever since I started using it; when I first started, it would crash everyday ranging from every 30 seconds to every 2 hours. Which there was no warning for the crashes, either… the computer just did what it wanted. Now, my computer rarely, if ever, does it anymore, which is good; but I still have trouble with this PC. I am a digital artist and I use a mouse; that said, I need my mouse to work. My wireless mouse turns on just fine, but the laptop doesn’t seem to want it. I’ve tried all 3 USB ports, but none of them work. This problem has been going on for a while now; at least a year. Ex. I’d plug the USB into one port, and it would work for about 1-5 minutes; then it would stop, and I’d plug it into another port; the cycle continues. Now it just doesn’t work at all.
If it helps, my PC is an HP pavillion.

- I do have “Notify me if there are issues connecting to USB devices” checked, but I do not get any sort of notification, it just refuses the USB altogether.
- My mouse is not that old, so I am certain it isn’t at fault.
- This PC is a few years old, but I do not have the money to get a new one, and would have a hard time getting to a shop; so if it’s possible, I’d like a D.I.Y solution.
- I take care of this laptop; I don’t use it that often anymore, either. It isn’t being overused, I keep the fan where it can breathe, etc.
