What sort of keyboard? (PS/2, AT, USB)

Is it wireless?

Is there any sort of KVM (keyboard, mouse, video) switch in use?

The keyboard is a standard PS2 key board, no KVM. 
Mouse is a logitech USB wheel mouse.
An additional point is that at first the problem occurred every few days and has now 
increased to multi times per day. I have rebooted to Win XP and will see if it happens there.
Any logs I should reveiw for error messages that may help?
