I've seen two things cause this.

First, if your display card has been assigned an interrupt
and that interrupt is shared with another device.  I've had
to manually reassign the display card's IRQ either manually
(if possible) or by shuffling cards in the PCI slots.

Another is a corrupt display driver.  Many of the "mouse"
problems can be caused by bad display drivers.  Try
re-installing the newest display driver for your card.
