Sounds like a nightmare!

Try booting into SAFE mode (F8?). Does the system stabilise? If so, I would:
1 - shut down the PC
2 - unplug from network
3 - remove keyboard and mouse and replace with KNOWN good keyboard and mouse
4 - boot PC, OFF network

How are things now?

Then try the keyboard and mouse on a different system, just to check them out.

Then shutdown, connect to your network and try again.

If you're still having problems and if there's anyway to get a backup off, great. Again, SAFE mode might help a lot. Then, try to reinstall your O/S (sounds like you don't have much to lose at this point).

Other than that, it sounds like your serial ports (kbd and mouse, I assume are serial) have gone MAD!
