> Sounds like a loose contact or something on the board touching something that shouldn’t be touched. Do some basic investigation…shake it around a bit…do you hear any rattling? Do you ever remember a small peice of anything that looked important falling out? If your power jack is that FUBAR’d then you may have a lot more problems. I can’t tell without the machine being in front of me though…computers shit the bed for the stupidest reason…and i doubt it’s fried YET…but just by how you describe things i’m just about sure it’s on its way…ah and now that i think about it…a lot of motherboards use diagnostic beeps to alert you of something…that maybe be the “mouse” sound you are hearing…it may be as simple as something not being properly seated on your motherboard

When it turns on it is fine adn runs then just shuts off all of a sudden. Nothing is loose or no noises at all,it just happened when i had it on my lap the other day adn i tilted it sideways a lil bit and it happened. I think it might just be like u stated,something loose or a chip on the board going bad,but who knows…i am NO computer guy when it comes to that stuff.
