I don't know about the HP NX 6125, but on my nc 6320, you have to rmmod
psmouse before you shutdown or reboot the computer, otherwise something
upsets the BIOS and it won't run at full speed on next boot up.

Can't hurt to give it a try. The other method to get it working again is
to remove the AC adaptor and the battery for a few seconds, then
re-insert and power up.

Bootup time is also much faster if the psmouse was rmmod'd before
shutdown, or the power was completely removed as above.

Weired indeed!
