pc hang and erratic on warm up

I am given an old PII MMX 233 mhz slot 1
4 GB Samsung HDD
128 Mb of ram

My problems
1) sometime during boot up, message told me that my mouse is not
connected, another time, my keyboard is dead
2) if the comp. is well warm up, moving the mouse around will cause
various right click boxes to open by itself
3) the coputer will hang at time
4) if in excel, I shall have uncontrollable marking of cells, column and
row

What had I done to remedy
1) format the hard disc and reinstall the operating system
2 reset the cmos, by taking of the battery and using the reseting
insert on the mother board
3) testing the system with other ram]
4) chaging the processor
5) changing the mouse
6) changing the cooling fan of the processor and ensuring that it is
working

The problems still persist

Can anyone give suggestion to the possible cause of these problems

Thank you in advance

Hmmm, very strange. It sounds like a poor electrical connection somewhere.
Ensure the motherboard is secured firmly to the case and that all the cards
are seated properly, also ensuring that all cables are firmly plugged in.
I am intrigued that you were able to re-install the O/S without a problem,
(or was there)?

Hi,

Have you tried a different keyboard and tried using a serial (9 pin)
mouse?
