Hi bkay,
You mention that the keyboard is not responding. Have you tried using another keyboard?

My HP desktop 6837c sometimes won't wake up. I used to be able to touch any key on the keyboard and it would wake up. I had this problem earlier this week and looked it up and it says use the moon shaped key, so I did and it worked - until today. Today, it happened for the third time. I have to turn the computer off/on it get it to come up.
It's like the keyboard is dead. The numlock light isn't on. Nothing will work.The light is on on the tower, so I know the computer is on. It just wont' wake up.
Today is the third time this week.
Any ideas?
