Every so often (30 mins to an hour) my USB keyboard will disconnect and immediately reconnect. Like it's being unplugged and plugged back in again.

I've tried every USB port and the same thing happens, although when plugging it into my monitor (Dell 2407) it stays connected all the time. The only problem with this "workaround" is when I turn my monitor on I have to wait 20-30 seconds for the monitors' USB hub, which the keyboard is connected to, to be detected.



The only thing I can thing of is maybe the keyboard is drawing too much/little power, but it's strange that it works fine when plugged into my monitor.

Any ideas O Fountain Of Knowledge that is OcUK?
 
sorry to barge in but i get this same problem as well, on my mobo i have 4 usb ports at the rear and another 4 on a pci bracket, ive tried moving various devices round to counteract this but still get it now and again.
 
perhaps un-install the keyboard
(wen its pluged in go to device manager and uninstall it)
Take it out and plug it back in - let OS re-install it?

perhaps =/
 
This was a common problem on Nvidia 680i based motherboards and was sorted out with a bios update as far as i know.
 
similar problem here ...msi mobo. keyboard and mouse stop working but at random times...so it could be after say 4 hours or just 10 mins
