Check the inital boot up screen for the BIOS id.
Press the PAUSE/BREAK jey and read the ID string at the bottom. A newar the topmay also give away the motherboard model number.
Go into the BIOS and make sure the Serial Port you have the mouse on is enabled.
Also, check that the cable is connected to the motherbaord correctly (red stripe goes to pin #1).
Also, try another mouse.
As for RAM, you may need to set a jumper or the RAM is not paired compatible. Try oter RAM.
You really need to ID the mobo.
