I was away over weekend and son got on my machine... upon returning, machine was very loud and sounded like a vacuum cleaner, was completely frozen (most likely fan). Had to turn off with Power Button due to non-response. Next day, powered up and it performed a full chkdsk and it cleaned up sectors. Afterwards, when Windows booted up in login screen, my mouse began jumping to the left side of the screen (every couple of seconds)... changed batteries in mouse, no affect. After Windows launched, this symptom continued but now it is selected the top icon (My Computer), then jumps down to another icon within the same first row of icons on Windows screen. Continues to jump all over. I can see it looks like I'm touching the screen, but I am not, no hands on mouse nor keyboard (without trackpad). Updated Logitech Mouse drivers, to no avail. Uninstalled Acer Touchpad, to no avail. Performed a Recover from a few days ago, to no avail. Currently running a full virus scan. I have searched all over the internet, I have unchecked the Enhance Pointer Precision, to no avail. I have also read that overheating may cause this issue - anyone heard of this before? My fan has been fairly noisy of late and it was definitely overworking itself on Sunday. Any ideas?
Also, son did not install any programs (drivers?) - usually plays steam games... and Windows explorer keeps stating is it not responding and restarts (explorer.exe).
