Don't even know where to start with this.

I was doing a SLIGHT undervolt to my GPU to try and help with temps, like 0.04v and everything was fine.
Crypto-miner stress test worked fine.

But I did see a bit of a screen flash.
The desktop icons re-loaded.

Anyway, I put my GPU settings back to default for playing with tomorrow and called it a day.

Now my wireless mouse disconnects after about 2 minutes of usage and won't go back to working again without a battery removal or a PC reboot.
After which, the mouse works for 2 minutes and then dies.

I mean. WTF !!!

Wired mouse works fine, and since I was messing with the GPU I figured a DDU GFX driver uninstall and re-install might work.
Nope !!
Still knackered.

Honestly this is so weird I don't think anyone can help but I thought I'd just throw it out there.
 
Have you tried a new battery?
Or perhaps install the manufacturers software/drivers for the mouse and see if that corrects it. There might even be a firmware update.
 
Embarrassingly, it did turn out to be a battery issue.
But it was just a lot of stuff happening at once that threw me.
As mentioned, having the mouse 'break' at the exact time I tried tinkering with my PC, quite the coincidence.
Then I did try another battery which didn't fix it.
... turns out I had apparently used another almost dead battery that I thought was good.

Guess in the future, I'll add "Try 2 different batteries" to my list of things to do when troubleshooting :)

Click to expand...
I've got a tray of not-new batteries. Same for light bulbs. I could easily try 3 dead ones in a row then get a new one. Buy a multimeter to be sure!
 
I sell a few PC I never give people the option of wireless mice or keyboards for this very reason, many time people will swap the flat battery for an equally flat one... I drives me mad now ill do a site visit and charge a call out fee I've wasted so many hours over the years on flat batterys
