A few questions 
1) is the keyboard locked ie numlock doesn't work or
	just no screen response
2) does it happen during editing or during make or after make
3) what versions of rhide, ld, and gcc are you using
4) if during make use the -v command line option for
	the compiler options and check the output.
5) do you have borlands make.exe in your path
6) beyond are that any exotic tsr's running

those are the things I'd check and maybe post if
somthing doesn't become apparent from the questions
