I suspect  you have a card or a chip that's not seated in its slot
properly. Either that or try another keyboard, or try removing any hardware
you can temporarily do without until you find the culprit.

Does it happen only when booting from another OS? That happened to me. The
problem went away after a while and I never did find out the cause.

Try asking in a Dos/Wndoze newsgroup - dos problems aren't really anything
to do with Linux...
