Recently when waking my computer up from sleep, my computer would make a bios-type beeping sound coming out of my headphones. This beep would happen whenever I clicked a mouse button, or it would repeat continuously while moving the mouse around the screen. The mouse would also be unresponsive and I couldn't click on anything or use keyboard shortcuts, so basically a hard reset was required.
I thought my computer was dying on me, and was kind of excited to build a new one. But...
I found out that this is tied to a recent Windows update - KB3140743. Something about new xinput drivers.
The original update came out on March 1st I think, or thereabouts. There has since been another hotfix called KB3140768 that replaced the previous one and still causes the issue.
Here's some links to some forum posts where other people are figuring out ways around it
