losing internet connection and keyboard locks up constantly

[kdjones1]

Laptop hard drive crashed at 13 months (1 month past warranty). Replaced hard drive and now my keyboard locks up several times a day, always locks up if I don't continuously type on it. I also lose internet connection constantly (all other computers in the office are connected so it isn't an issue with my internet connection). Computer literally can't find a WIFI connection until I shut it down and restart.  I'm being told it's a driver that's failing.

Also being told by IT tech to dump the HP and buy a Dell or Toshiba...as this model (and HP) has epic fails?

Any help or suggestions as I've already invested $$ in the new hard drive and new set up ....hate to start over, but this is incredibly frustrating.

Thank you.
