It's not always a software problem.  I once had a friend who had a
cheap Taiwanese keyboard that used to be mine.  It worked fine when
I had it, but after a while after I sold it to him, whenever I type
fast, it would lock up the system.  Fortunately, he can't type very
fast.  You can install a hard reset button that would do the same
thing as a powerdown-powerup but you'd still lose the data.
