What is the problem?

[Sorkurie]

So here's the thing. I've had this laptop for maybe 3 or 4 years now. Along the road it's had many problems and Blue Screens. I've done several OS reinstalls on it. Now, here's the big problem. For a while I was never able to work on it because I lost the power pack... Yeah. Anyway, finally got around to getting a new power pack, turned it on, and was able to fresh install Windows 10. Everything seems for be working except for one Big problem. As soon as I press any key on the laptop, it will freeze. Only way to unfreeze is to force shut down the laptop. If I use a virtual keyboard, it works fine. No freezing. But that's annoying since I have to click on each key.. I wanted to try using an external keyboard but I think the USB ports might not be working either. I will double check today. I'm thinking thenmotherboard may be going bad.. Any other ideas that would cause they laptop's keyboard to freeze the laptop?
