Caps Lock, Random.

Sometimes, randomly, the keyboard on my HP EliteBook 8460p, which I use extensively for work, changes for unknown reasons so that the caps lock is on.  All the letters go to upper case as do the other keys like the "+/=" key.  If I turn the caps lock on the letters revert to lower case but the other keys like the  "+/=" key do not.  I do not know what key sequence / mousepad action is that causes this or how to stop it.  I can only get back to normal by shutting the computer off and then restarting it.  It actually happened to me the first time I was typing in this message to you, and I had to stop, restart my computer, and then re-type this message to you.  Can you tell me how to get my laptop to stop doing this?!

when this happens to me, I turn caps 'on' so that the light is on, then press shift and type. when I release shift and turn the caps off, it's back to normal. Not a solution but much easier than a restart.
