Desktop woes

jadelyntateSo, this summer, I bought a desktop from the school (nicknamed Ethan). I've used him ONLY for playing World of Warcraft and the occasional movie when I have to use my laptop for something else. I paid $250 in June and about a month or so ago, it started acting funny when it came to the mouse.
I spybotted and virus-checked it to death and it came back clean everytime. Looking online, I found something that sounded like it might be the problem so I decided to call computing services here on campus since they were the ones who sold me the computer in the first place.
Then school and life interfered and I forgot about it.
Now, however, I've decided its time I got off my ass and get it fixed. So I called Computing Services and explained the problem and if I could bring in the tower to have it looked out.
They told me it sounds like a hardware problem. They don't work on hardware problems. They told me to bring it in on Tuesday and they'll double-check. I'm hoping that since they were the ones who sold the damn thing to me that they'll help fix it even if it is hardware; if not, I'm going to have to take it to someone in town and that'll probably cost me.
*sighs*
And to think, I was so happy that I just finished paying off all my bills for this month!
