Jagathrajah,

If you have had any updates recently roll the update back to see if the issue remains. If you have installed any software recently uninstall it.

Also, run the diagnostics on the system to see if they come back with any failures.  To run the diags follow the information below.

Launching ePSA
Tap F12 during startup
Select Diagnostics.
Testing Devices using ePSA
The ePSA starts running the quick test without waiting for user input.
To select a specific device to test, users can tap the Esc key.
A NOTE indicates important information that helps you make better use of your computer. NOTE:
The Touchpad/Mouse will be non–functional when the test is in progress. This is as per design.
