After 5 minutes or so my mouse doesn't work. If I take it out and plug in again it works again for a few minutes.

Any ideas if it's the mouse broken or what?

Cheers

May you need to feed your mouse on a proper way??

What mouse is it? USB or PS2 or Wireless?

I hope it's the mouse because I have thrown three of them in the trash that were doing that. I'd feel bad if it were something else.

Just a normal mouse with the rectangular socket -USB? Fits into my laptop, not the round ones.

Do any other devices crash when used in that or other usb ports? If other things that use more power then the mouse keep working it may be the mouse, but if everything keeps crashing it may be the port. My laptop will run any one thing plugged into it but never a 4 port hub powered or unpowered type they crash after 3 or 4 minutes, over and over. but a HD or Cam mouse anything works fine one thing at a time, and before the hubs worked just fine for over a year. One day they just stopped working every 3 or 4 minutes. result of many hours with MS and HP. Bad or going bad USB ports. PS when I run linux on the laptop it does the same thing.

RKASA is right in hims point: Power consumption!

If you use a USB external Hub on a Laptop, you should use a powered Hub with external power supply!
