took it apart, had a play with the keybaord wire, broke the connector a bit...whoops, plugged it back in the best i could, put it all back together, had the complimentary spare screw, as always, and hey presto, keyboard works again, if it breaks again i can blame the missus now. job done | |

Had this before on a few laptops. Main culprit is the keyboard itself or the controller. | |

tried that and it didn't do anything. last resort is a re-install of windows, i can transfer everything important to this PC anyway. | |

Remove the driver, reboot, install the latest version and see if it helps. | |

Sorry, it's not the USB keyboard that's screwing up, it's the main keyboard on the laptop itself. | |

When it happens, see if you can still tab between different windows, try alt-tab as well. If those still work then the machine is still responding, just not to USB. | |

Nah, it's not that, because it was happening before I had the USB keybaord plugged in, only plugged it in to figure whehter the machine was crashing or whether it was just the keyboard/mouse | |

My laptop has a button on it to change between internal and/or USB mouse (i presume keyboard too but never used it) On mine its Fn + F10. | |
