Then you can run "smartclt" (long test mode) to find out any problem with
your hard disks.

If you can connect and manage the server from a remote machine that may
indicate an isolated problem not a system wide one:
1/ If you are running X server, that can mean xorg is freezed and so the
keyboard refuses to respond.
2/ If no X server running, that could mean you have a problem with the
keyboard or the port it is attached to (PS/2 or USB), try with another
one.
3/ In addition, you can check the logs when the system freezes to gather
furher information of the hang, run "top" to scan for any application
consuming several resources, etc...
