A bad powersupply is also something that can occasionally throw some
REALLY weird symptoms in the mix. See if you can get it testeed(Or test
it yourself with a volt meter) I am assuming you didnt change any other
hardware configs then? If you did restore whatever you changed and try
it then.
Like someone else suggested, ram is another good place to check for nice
odd symptoms

you can get an ide-to-usb box, open it and mount the disk directly on
the laptop... this little things are really useful in this bad times..
So there's something wrong with the box. Can anyone point me in the
right direction to begin troubleshooting this machine ? Could it be
RAM ? The graphics card ? Or what ?? And how can I test things on the
hardware side, i.e., what utilities are indicated ?
mmh.. the freeze-on-mouse-move issue is strange, maybe it could be the
mobo chipset??
memtest86 is THE tool for checking the ram, for hardware side the only
thing i can think is to toggle all hardware components and adding them
one-by-one till you experience the problem again... or by installing
the hardware on an another machine
Any and all suggestions vastly appreciated.
hope my two cents are worth the reading
Best,

good luck
