It sounds like your system experienced a BSOD and automatically rebooted
itself. The auto-reboot kills your opportunity to actually read the BSOD
screen, which contains all of the codes we can use to help track down the
problem. The black screen and ignorant mouse are likely the result of a
hibernation or other deep sleep mode. I refuse to use those because they
have always proven to be buggy on my systems.
I can send instructions for turning off &/or modifying those two functions,
but I need clarification on the OS you're running first.
Peace,
Gman
