It's not clear to me if the keyboard is working or not.  I'd try a PS/2
keyboard if it doesn't and/or unplug and replug the USB one when the
computer is frozen.  What happens when you boot without a keyboard?

Put a minimal amount of RAM in and go through all of the modules to see if
one or some of them are broken.

Replace the power supply.

Replace mainboard.
