Windows Central Question

I've been running Windows 8 on a Dell Inspiron 15R for almost two years. A couple of months ago, when logging on to my computer, it didn't recognize any keystrokes as I attempted to enter my password.

I was able use a mouse to use the accessibility option and then call up a screen touchpad to log in. I restarted the computer and then it functioned correctly.

This has happened two or three times since then. Once I log in as described above, the computer recognizes keystrokes for internet search but on at least one occasion I couldn't use my document writing program.

Any clues how to fix this?
