I have assumed it was just the keyboard locking up, but now as I think about it, I guess it is possible that the entire system would be locked up and I just wouldn't know any different. Anyone have any ideas where I could start on getting this problem fixed? The system works fine in DOS, and I see no significant error messages as things boot up, so I'm kind of lost.
