It's probably a mouse problem. However, if you keep on unplugging and
plugging in your mouse with the power on, eventually it'll become a
permanant motherboard problem - the (non-replacable without a soldering
iron) fuse in the ADB circuitry will blow. ADB is *not* hot-swappable,
although it will work most of the time.

I'd suggest you try using a different mouse for a while.
