Keyboard problems...

Today was the 2nd time it happened, but I boot up the computer, and my keyboard works for a minute, then it doesn't work for 5 minutes, then it works again. I've already been in the Keyboard properties of the control panel but it says everything is running fine, and I can't find anything to change it to make it better.

I already checked for driver updates, none were found. Anything I can do to fix this?

It's still doing it too after using the computer for 3 days. The only way I can get the keyboard to work is to unplug it and then plug it back in. Any way to fix this?

It's the same keyboard that came with our Compaq CPU (old one), so it's a Compaq.
Not cordless
Windows XP
I'm not even sure if it's PCI or USB...whatever the normal plug-in is. The circle plug-in goes into the circle input that has they keyboard picture by it
No special software...
