Your problem description implied that the problem occurred after
the screen saver had cut in - hence my suggestion. If the problem
occurs before that point then you should supply more details, e.g.
- What exactly happens when you press Ctrl+Alt+Del?
- Is the keyboard still active? You can tell by operating CapsLock
and looking at the CapsLock indicator.
- Have you tried a different keyboard? PS/2 instead of USB?
- What is the recent history of this machine?
- Can you use the keyboard to get into the BIOS?
Remember - we can't see your server, so it is essential to post
as many details as possible, as every IT-Admin-Guru would do!
