Thanks, Igor - I took another look at the logs but still did not find
anything. I think that the specific keyboard failure was that the
keyboard thought the print screen key was depressed. I have an Lubuntu
computer hooked up to this keyboard via a KVM switch and noticed this
afternoon that the user folder has thousands of screen captures from the
past few days. In lubuntu just pressing print screen saves an image of
the screen. My guess is that the slow down I experienced in Win 7 was
due to continuous print screen requests which stopped when I changed
batteries.
So maybe the logs don't show anything because continuously depressing a
key is not a hardware fault, per se? I don't know.

Mark,
Congrats!
I am great that it was an easy part in the end.
But it's weird.
I would have expected that it would show up in the logs. That's why I
suggested to look there.
Cheers,
Igor
PS. So, you jumped from XP(?) to Win-10?

Fer crying out loud... it was the batteries in the wireless keyboard.
After testing the power supply, swapping out or removing all cards,
and ultimately ordering a new computer (order soon to be cancelled)...
it turns out to be just two AA batteries.
I had turned the keyboard on and off and removed the KVM switch
earlier, but did not replace the batteries because the the low battery
indicator was not on. This afternoon it started it acting really bad
and I noticed it was acting like certain keys were stuck, so I pulled
the batteries and POW - everything works fine, no more beeping on boot
up or while in the bios setup screens. That new computer would have
been sweet but not needed now.
Jeesh!
