    Im using a RAT 7 gaming mouse but every once and a wile it seem to start getting stuck/ jumping around i didnt have this problem on my last comp, so i was wondering if there could possibly be any drivers or anything that are not reacting well with it.

    Also i was wondering if there were any BIOS settings i should change im running 0A5, like the Intel Visualization setting or anything.

    I have a Microsoft wireless mouse and had the same problem that you are describing. The mouse would seem to just stick or have a jerky motion.
    I had the Microsoft mouse drivers installed so I removed those. I had thevwireless transcever on the left-side USB port so I moved it to the right-side
    port. I then went into the hardware driver list, found the default mousevdriver and set the pointer tracking speed down a bit. I have not had any
    problems since. I don't know if your mouse is wireless or not because I don't know much about the RAT 7 mouse. The pointer tracking speed may have more of an impact on the problem than anything else. I hope this helps.
