Keyboard issue with Lenovo Thinkpad Twist

Post by has530 »

I am still relatively new to linux. I installed 64 bit linux mint 19.1 cinnamon along side windows 8.1 on my thinkpad twist. My problem is that after some amount of time (always different) they keyboard and trackpad will become unresponsive. Usually what triggers this is use of the "H" key. I have no problems with the keyboard on my windows partition. Usually what happens is I will press H and it will never unpress and it will just type the letter h until I shut down. I have turned off key repeating but the keyboard and trackbad still go dead after pressing h, usually after about 30 min up to a few hours. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Not sure if any of this info is useful but the "how to get help" section recommended it so here is some more system info:
