Whenever i hold down any key on my keyboard constantly, no matter if its a application, game or on the desktop itself my pc freezes and it remains like so until i release the key.

This causes a lot of irritance while working on applications and makes gaming impossible.

I fixed this problem earlier, using a link i found on google.com about this certain issue. However i am finding it hard to find such an article online again.

I surfed through a lot of forum where mostly the problem has been blamed on the hardware, but i remember the problem lied somewhere with the ACP controller and could be easily fixed with the device manager.

I really am lost with this problem and will appreciate a little guidance along the right path.

Thank you.
