Problem: I can run windows for about one minute - then the following
happens. The bell starts beeping just as if the keyboard buffer should
be full and the keyboard doesn't work. The computer is still running,
but very very slow (as if it had to take care of lots of keyboard
interrupts). Ctrl+alt+del does of course not work, and hitting the
reset button reboots the machine, but the keyboard keeps beeping.
Power off is the only thing that helps.

It looks like a hardware problem, but I don't have any keyboard
problems when I'm outside windows. I'm confused...
