Computer has problems with standby all of a sudden

So all of a sudden when I put my computer into standby the 3 light on my keyboard stay lit, (num, cap, and scroll lock). When I bring it back from standby the keyboard doesn't work, I've swapped out the keyboard so I know it isn't the problem.

Also, when I shutdown my computer and restart it the keyboard will either not work or the computer will not display anything. I need to physically unplug the computer for a 5 seconds from the wall and then replug it in and then its usually ok. Sometimes I have to do this multiple times.


What could be the problem here? My first thought is the motherboard but I'm not sure, I don't have parts to swap in to do testing.

Heres my PC:
Gigabyte 965p-ds3 w/ latest BIOS
Core 2 Duo E6400 @ 2.1GHz (stock)
2GB (1GBx2) Corsair DDR2 800MHz, dual channel mode
XFX Geforce 7600GT (stock clock settings)
2 SATA internal hard drives (Seagate 7200.10s)
1 NEC DVD-RW
Antec 600 watt power supply


I've had this setup for about a year with no problems. All of a sudden this is happening.


Any suggestions?
 
How long have you been using that BIOS? Did standby ever work with that BIOS? How long have you been using that keyboard and mouse? What else have you recently added, USB-wise?
 
I have been using the BIOS for about a month. Standby only stopped screwing up about a week ago. I have had this keyboard and mouse since I built the PC about a year ago. Also, the mouse and keyboard are both using the PS/2 ports, not USB. Forgot to mention that.
