i have noticed that when my system idle process is running about 20% of cpu in task manager when machine is idle the mouse pointer starts to stick as you drag it across the screen? I have cured this in the past by loading optimal settings in bios but not working this time?
 
Try safe mode to see if problem continues. If so, basic mouse driver problem. If not, use MSConfig to isolate which program is interferring.
 
is your mouse optical or roller? If Its a roller mouse try taking it apart and cleaning it. mine was doing the same as yours and this turned out to be the problem
