Keyboard Problem

Starting about two weeks ago my keyboard has developed a problem: on a
consistent and periodic basis my keyboard becomes inorperable (all I get is a
beep). If I simply move or click my mouse, the keyboard works normally again
until a few minutes later, the interrupt occurs again. This is annoying.
Steps I have tried without success: substituted another keyboard, updated
keyboard drivers, ran anti-spy and anti-virus scans that return clean,
communicated with several forums, checked device manager and all is working
correctly. I'm running Windows XP Home SP/2 with auto-updating. I've tried
disabling all the popup blockers, anti-spyware, etc.; same results. The
problem occurs whenever I attempt to use my keyboard for any reason. There
have been two interrupts while typing this note. What can be causing this
problem, how to fix?
 
If you are using a USB keyboard then switch to a PS2. If using a PS2
then switch to USB. Sounds like the Motherboard
Connector-Controller is acting flaky. On my Ep-8K7A+ motherboard after
six months the PS2 Keyboard connector failed. The mouse worked fine and so
did the USB Keyboard.
 
Unfortunatly, I'll already tried switching to the USB port with an adapter;
no success. Is there a "simple" way to fix the Motherboard? It appears more
and more that the problem lies there. Thanks for your response
 
Ken, motherboards become obsolete real fast and usually are either
trashed or upgraded. Did you check in the Bios
Try choosing default settings and assigning a IRQ to USB. There should be
an entry under Power Settings.
