You mean that once you plugin a keyboard the machine recovers ? That's weird. What if you leave the keyboard connected all the time ? Try to attach one of the machines which reproduces the problem to a KVM switch (Keyboard/Video/Mouse switcher). If you are able to reproduce again the problem then you might have more chances to catch it. Regards, Adrian.
