Error in XP. please help

i am currently sudying at university and i connect to the internet via
a network. when i connect the pc runs fine but after about twenty
minutes the PC begins to act strangely...

-First thing you notice is that when you type, the blinking cursor
starts traveling backwards through the word so that you are forced to
type backwards. like this....

"¦" < blinking cursor

typin ¦ g
typi ¦ ng
typ ¦ ing
ty ¦ ping

you get the idea.. (hopefully) this affects the whole PC. with any
typing at all.

-Second thing you notice is that when you move the mouse over a button
the button either presses automatically or it just wont press, no
matter how many times you click the mouse.

-Third thing you notice is that the pc runs really slowly, and you can
hear the pc trying to do a task. (this MAY not be part of the same
problem, but it still bothers me)

If i do not connect the PC to the internet, it appears the problem does
not occur.

I have an acer Notebook PC, Running Windows XP.

the problems fix if i restart my PC. i have done a virus and spyware
scan, with Norton Antivirus (not the best i know) but i got no
infections..

If anymore info is required i should be able to tell you, but please
try and help its driving me insane.

It could be overheating, I guess..
