I have the same problem with my desk top. In my case it is caused by the keyboard drivers not unloading during sleep. Try going into the control panel key board setting and see if you have a code 30 error. If you have that is the problem. I can not found a cure for it so I have disabled sleep in the power settings.

That's interesting, Dave.  I left the lappy so it may have gone to sleep or possibly hibernated.
I've looked in control panel/keyboard and nothing indicates an error.
May be different with desktop/laptop - don't know.   It is working again now.  I closed the pc, but the indicator lights didn't go out ?  So forced the off/on by holding switch down.     I'm not a happy bunny.   My poor old last laptop was nine years old, and none of this. 

(Think is - I've only had it about a week, and I've forgotten where I've put receipt!   >:(  aaargh )

Kiwi, is yours working again yet?

Silvery, running a bit better since I changed the Power Settings.  If it hadn't been for your thread I wouldn't have realised and when I think on it, things started changing on here, when daughter borrowed the lappy for the day.

I've had a similar problem in the past. Disconnecting it at the mains and removing the battery solved the problem.
