Not an option open to me Ted, unfortunately. This is the only computer I've got.
Have you tried unplugging all the usb devices and then plugging just the keyboard or mouse into different usb ports? Each USB bus can supply up to 500ma of power (IIRC) but you can have 3 or 4 ports available on each bus (or more) it may be that what you're plugging in is taking the ports just over this and/or they are detecting a condition that may damage them (i.e. power spike) and the computer is shutting them down.
