Constant freezing of keyboard/mouse - W2K

[Alp]

Hi,

I'm not sure how I got this but would appreciate any help. Details are:
P3, 2 OSs: W98SE / W2K (SP1) - default. (further will be provided if needed)

I have not timed the occurence but after some time even without any
particular software running, except W2K and Norton IS2004, the pc freezes
and I have to use the reset button to reboot. On reboot (I guess BIOS)
indicates Keyboard Error but the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination works and the
second reboot attempt goes smoothly. Then again the same applies!

This does not happen, or so far did not, while the PC is being used. No
power saving settings, screen savers etc are set. I just can't figure it out
and its driving me crazy.

Can anyone point me to possible causes/remedies please? BTW I also use a KVM
switch (ATEN CS-72A) but doubt if that could be the culprit, or could it be?

Thanks in advance,

Alp

I have unfortunately discovered that it does happen also while using the PC.

Removing the KVM switch from the equation should be easy to implement.
