    Not sure if this is from the laptop, or BF2's strange strong-armed capturing of the keyboard.... But it seems that every now and again my keyboard stops responding until I restart...

    I'm almost more likely to blame BF2 with the way it catches the input buffer and doesn't always set it back to the wild after tagging it and poking it with a pointy stick...

    Anyways.. anyone else notice this? It has only happened twice... and unfortunatly I've not really payed to much attention to it.. because those are the only two times I've rebooted after installing my stuff other then switching OS's.. :D

    UPDATE::::
    Doesn't happen in Linux...? (that I've seen)

    The same thing happened to me twice. Both times I was in World Of Warcraft So I tought it was the game. Never happened on Linux only when on windows.

    What version of the BIOS are you using. There was a keyboard fix back in BIOS version 107B. Latest Bios is 110B.
