Keyboard freezes up

[minesman]

Help. My keyboard freezes up after the machine has been up and running for 10 minutes or so. For a while the Scroll-Lock key light would come on, but now that doesnt even happen. A restart doesnt fix the problem, only a cold start does.
Running 200 mhz mmx SOny VAIO w/win ME and 64 meg Ram.

2 choices, keyboard or motherboard. What can you substitute? Would try swapping keyboard with another machine as first step. Ed Fair

Any advice I give is my best judgement based on my interpretation of the facts you supply.

Help increase my knowledge by providing some feedback, good or bad, on any advice I have given.

Could be too many things running in background ME is a memory hog and the symptoms of running ok for 10 minutes or so kind of indicates that there are too many things running at startup.
