When I play games like Battlefield 2 or Halo, my computer locks up (now and again), but it isn't the same locking up as you'd expect, everything is moving (such as the game and people in the game) but the keyboard and mouse wont respond, and my computer beeps when this happens. Can ya help me with this?
Don't assign the Shift key to any action.. o.O

Never use it. Why do you say that anyway? The only thing I use the shift key for is talking, and I don't have filterkeys on BTW
Need more RAM.. I dunno, I'm not very technology-savvy.. heh.. :(
It sounds like you're running Windows.
If it happens try unplugging the mouse or keyboard then plug them back. For some reason my mouse stops working sometimes and I have to unplug then plug it back in to get it working again.

That's not the problem, JMV is being a dumbass as per usual.
Throw it out the window.
WinXP?
Go to the control panel. Accessibility options. On Keyboard tab, click "settings" for all three things and uncheck "use the key combination for ____"

Explain how Windows locking up isn't the fault of his OS.

The way you're saying it is that that happens to everyone, that's all I'm pointing out.

I swear, every single person who uses Windows has to turn off the key combination for stickykeys some time in their life.

well maybe the comment would have been funnier if Windows wasn't the problem in the thread where I said it.
I'm thinking stickykeys, but the mouse wouldn't stop responding if that were the case. I suppose it could treat it as though the window had been switched, but I don't think things would still move. Can't really say what the case is for sure. The beep really sounds like stickykeys, so I'm thinking Bluaki has the right idea. Seriously, everyone has to turn that off at some point or another.
Next time it happens, try pressing alt+tab. See if that switches you out of the game window. If that works, then you should see whatever it is that caused it.
