Could you please provide dmesg output from both working and non-working 
case?

Also /proc/bus/input/devices content would be interesting (in case you are 
able to log remotely into the machine).

Does replugging the keyboard fix the problem with 50% probability?

Are other USB devices (such as mice) affected by this as well?

Thanks,
