Keyboard quits working (Can anyone solve this?)

[BarnyardMonkey]

Ok i have posted this problem once before a few months back with no luck.

My keyboard will quit responding out of the blue for no reason.
it can go for weeks sometimes with no problems.but then sometimes it can mess up a couple times in a day.


since i was uncertain what the problem was,i changed all of the following just to see what the problem was:
(some of the following was just upgrades)

Motherboard
CPU
Ram
Keyboard
PSU
NIC
Cdrom


Only thing that is the same with this system,is the HD,Case and one of the 2 Keyboards i would swap back and forth.

So i am totally lost on what the problem could be now.

Could the last Board i had somehow screwed up my 2 keyboards?
or could it possibly be my HD,or case? (Ground or some sort?)

if anyone has a clue on what the problem may be,i'd appreciate any help with this.


System Specs:

S370 Board (Pulled from an IBM Netvista system)
PIII 800
384Mb PC133 Ram
20G WD HD
GF2 MX 32Mb AGP
Xitel Platinum Sound
Intel 10/100 NIC
HP IDE Burner
MS Explorer Optical Mouse
NEC Internet Keyboard




Thanks.

hmm how does ur keyboard connect to the computer? ps/2? or that older type with big connector? (at?)

what kind of mother board do u have?

cause i used to have similar problem when i used an older at keyboard with an adapter....

it usually happened when i was playing starcraft.... it was annoying...

after i swapped the keyboard its working fine.
good luck.

both boards take ps/2 keyboards.
the last board was an Abit BE6, and the board now is a S370 pull from an ibm system.

In the course of doing all this swapping and upgrading, did you ever format and do a clean install of your OS?

Yeah i just recently tried WindowsXP,but then went back to Win98SE a couple days after trying it.
formatted and reinstalled.
