I've had a similar problem on a true-blue (heavily modified, though) IBM-AT.
It started hanging up using a clone keyset.  When I put the IBM keyset back
on the machine, it worked fine.  I'm not sure if it was a timing problem, or
what, but a bad keyset can definitely hang up the computer.

How to tell the difference between a good keyset and a bad keyset is beyond
me.  (Although, for ATs (unfortunately, no help for you) the ability to
respond to the "keyrate" program from PC magazine that speeds up repeat keys
seems to be a good separator.)
