Sorry if this is in the wrong section but I didn't know where else to post this.

So this is the thing. My computer is fine from the start. I do my thing and what not and then when I'm done I turn the monitor off and go about my business. Its apon returning that the keyboard doesn't respond and the mouse works, but after a few seconds the mouse freezes and I can't do anything. I can only gather that its Windows, this just started recently and before then I had a problem where the computer would just BSOD on me after a few minutes from startup. I figured it was the memory considering it was Corsair Dominators sticks and I've read they've been known to fail, so I replaced it with my previous sticks and the BSOD went away. Shortly after, this starts to happen, but signs don't point to the memory, but then again I can't assume right. Has anyone had such a problem where the Keyboard is non-responsive but the mouse works and then stops. I have to cold boot and start all over again.

I also notice that this doesn't happen everytime I leave the computer. Sometimes I'll come back a few hours later and everything still working. Other times not the case. And there are times when I go to use it that both the keyboard and mouse aren't working from the moment I get back on it. If your wondering I leave the computer on, and I have no screen savers enabled. When I leave I always turn the monitor off.

Anyone have any ideas as to what it could be

As far as I can tell there arn't really any event that would cause such a thing. I see errors like "Windows Mobile-based device failed to connect due to communication (0x80072745) failure (see data for failure code)." This pertains to my Pocket PC, but other than that I also see "The VSS service is shutting down due to idle timeout." which pertains to the Volume Shadow Copy Service. So I disabled the system restore function for now. But it doesn't seem like this would be the cause. Its hard to tell with Event Viewer because it logs event I don't recognize and really I don't know what to look for.
