Keyboard Stops Responding/Crashes Computer

by rpeeples . Updated 15 years, 9 months ago

Hello,

I was wondering if anybody has an idea as to what might be causing this problem.

I am working with a Dell computer that uses a PS2 keyboard and mouse and has WXP Pro on it. It boots into windows and everything seems ok until you try to type something (anything) on the keyboard. Then it crashes the computer/locks the computer. I have to pull out the power cable to reset it. I have disabled all the on-board equipment through the bios and the only add-in is the modem. I have checked for viruses/spyware/adware/blah blah blah and it is clean. It does this in safe mode also. My work-around at the moment is using the on-screen keyboard (huge headache).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
