Just out of curiosity since I have a PB as well, how are you powering the board? Are you plugging straight into a PC USB port or via a Powered USB Hub? Is a case or carrier board being used? Are there any external components connected to the PB GPIOs or other interfaces?
The environment the board is being used in might be of consideration, such as carpet or solid floor like hardwood. I would suspect the PB is quite susceptible to ESD issues.
