Mouse turns off in games, or when i lift it up

That's right...i don't know what's going on, when i play CS or WOW, my mouse turns off, then i have to reboot to turn it on, but there's no problem when i surf the net or i'm on msn, anything else is fine but online games, and when i lift it up, it freezes for 3 seconds then is fine again. what's up with that?

I have an A4TECH X-750F

Part of your problem might be that your OS is turning off your usb port for power management, I had the same problem for some reason (but I think its because I overclock the PCIE but maybe not) anyways, goto the USB Root Hubs and right click/ properties, then goto Power Management, and uncheck the "Allow System to turn off this device to save power". Do this where your mouse/keyboard are plugged in. I myself uncheck all of them, just because Im not one to save power

Also update the firmware on the mouse if it allows you to do that. And try uninstalling the mouse drivers completely and reinstalling.
