That type of behavoir is really annoying.

I presume you've tried reseating the USB cable. Have you tried a different
USB port? Do you have a port that's attached to a different daughter card
in case the one you're using has gone wonky?

Do you have a USB->PS2 adapter to try?

Do you have a different keyboard to try?

Any changes to the BIOS?

Does the keyboard work without problems once you boot an OS?

ciao,
