It could be your motherboard going bad but is its the same sequence over and over again (on1-mouse not working, no2-mouse working, on3-mouse not working, etc.) then maybe its your BIOS

another thing could be your mous is going bad, try using a USB mous see if that works (assuming your using a PS2, if not then try with a PS2 mouse.)
