I've sometimes experienced the problem where my keyboard goes crazy ..
e.g. when typing 'r' it types two "up-arrowa" on the screen. It's only
weird characters ... I then have to press the reset button, because
ctrl-alt-del doesn't work and plugging the keyboard out  and in doesn't
help.

I've also thought it's something of the Itel 440-BX motherboard ..
