COuld it be something like a loose connection?

I don't think so... Most probably the keyboard's electronics or the motherboard's keyboard interface got messed up.
If the problem appears most often after using the computer a couple of hours then I bet on the motherboard.

Ok, i have shutdown and checked the connection, no problems there.

Booted back up, but the problem persists.

If i turn off NUMLOCK, the # key is normal, but the numpad 6 key appears as a #
If i turn on NUMLOCK, the # key puts the 6 after it, as does the numpad 6 key.

This is some freaky stuff, surely a fault in the motherboard couldnt cause this?

I am going to try booting up in safemode or command prompt and see what happens

Ok update on the random keyboard story. The ps 2 keyboard carried on giving me random problems, so now i have put on a USB keyboard working nicely. Im hoping its just a fault with the keyboard and not the PS2 interface...

You should test that keyboard on another computer.
I hope that the keyboard is faulty
