My mouse randomly stops working

When I’m using OpenSUSE my mouse won’t be able to click on any application i.e. Chromium, file manager etcetera. However I can still use my mouse to click on the calender, activities tab and messages bar. This randomly happens and I have to restart when I do. also my computer’s fan starts whizzing around extra fast when this happens.

top

To see if something is eating all you CPU.
