For some reason, my keyboard just decided to randomly freeze on me. The full details are:
-I have 6 USB ports to use.
-I can use my keyboard once on each port, until I turn the computer off.
-If I keep my keyboard on that port a second time, it will freeze, and I will be unable to use it. By freeze I mean it just stops working.
-I have tried this on multiple keyboards, so it's a hardware/software problem, and not the keyboard.
-Although, one of my keyboards has a sleep button, and that works fine when I use it, even when it is frozen.
what I have tried:
-I have used more than one keyboard, and made sure it is firmly in the USB port.
-I have uninstalled my keyboards with the Device Manager. and reset my keyboard the proper way.
It may be a strange way of explaining, but it should be easier to understand, can anyone help with this? (I'm using a different computer of course.)

Look in Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs for anything that relates to "human interface devices" . You could try going to the computer manufacturer's website (I expect it is a branded computer, like a Dell, HP, Sony, Gateway, etc) and look through their downloads for an update, but it is probably set to work with their OEM hardware. I'd just uninstall it.
It could be software by a HID manufacturer like Logitech. The system should run without the "helper" software
