There doesn't seem to be any reason for it, I now turn it off as I thought that leaving it on standby was causing the problem but that's obviously not the case. If I turn it back on again with the power button it's usually OK, this can happen once in a couple of months or several times a week.
What could be causing it and is it fixable.

How old is the computer? Could be a battery that’s getting old and needs replacing?
 
The computer isn't that old, maybe 2 and a half years.
I'd never considered a fault with the keyboard maybe that is something to try.
