Keyboard goes loopy - Dimension C521

Every now and then my bluetooth keyboard goes mad. If I try to say type a word the word comes out in the wrong order on the screen and the cursor moves to the left v.quickly. Also if using any other application i.e word excel and I click on one of the drop down menus for example Help the cursor will move back to File at v.quick pace. The only way to resolve is if possible to shutdown the computer and start up, otherwise the only other option is a hard restart. Help

    deldim,
     
    What other wireless or bluetooth devices do you have at home?  A cell phone with bluetooth capability?  Bluetooth mouse on a nearby laptop computer?  Bluetooth keyboard and mouse on a nearby system?

    The only other bluetooth device is the mouse which came with the keyboard.

    deldim,
     
    If there are no other bluetooth devices nearby, test the system with a regular USB keyboard and mouse.  If the problem goes away, then you should consider replacing your bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  You might first consider moving the system temporarily to the other end of your house to further test the possibility of interference, however.  Just to be sure.
