I'm encountering some problems with my PS/2 devices as of late. I'm pretty sure its a software problem of some sort. Often I start off using my computer and it works fine. But given time either mouse or keyboard or both will freeze. This problem will also appear rapidly when I'm playing games, usually within 15mins+ of playing the game. Anyone out there know whats happening here? Its really getting on my nerves.
 
Have you looked into the irq addresses?
If the lockup is occuring when you start using a certain feature or hardware device such as modem or a different video card you may have an irq conflict.
A relatively standard conflict is between the mouse and modem.

Hope this helps
