After about tree minutes my keyboard on my HP Laptop quits working. The start, del, F4, h, and g keys are the only ones that dont work. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Try booting with a Windows boot diskette in to DOS and see if the same thing happens. If so, it could be a driver chip on the keyboard or system board failing or over heating slightly. Those four or five keys most likely share a common wire or driver.
There is also a flat ribbon cable that attaches the keyboard to the system board. Its connector may be loose or dirty. It may require opening the system up and checking this cable and make sure it is plugged in good and not partly pulled out.
