The culprit was STATIC ELECTRICITY at the keyboard! I was finally able to predict when it would and would not work. Depended on RH, dry is bad. Wet your hands, dry them slightly and add a ground wire to your body. Added taped al foil, grounded, under kb and changed the rug and chair and reversed wall plug and all is well so far.
