I have an intermittent problem with my keyboard when I physically
turn my computer on.  About half the time everything is fine, but
the other half the time the keyboard does not work.  I get a keyboard
error, the num/caps/scroll lock lights blink very rapidly, and my
PC makes the same noise as when the keyboard type-ahead buffer is
full and you keep pressing keys.
 
I have tried another keyboard and experienced no problems; I conclude
the problem is my keyboard.  It is a fairly new Mitsumi 101-key enhanced
keyboard.  Anyone know what causes this and how I might fix it, short
of replacing the keyboard?

Leaving my computer on until its fixed....
