HI John, I don't know the chipset but most of our computers are Dells. One of our labs has mostly Optiplex 745's
I found a solution by making a configuration change under language support. When I change the keyboard input method from IBUS to none, it seems to resolve the issue.

I have ran into a strange problem in three of our computer labs that are using 14.4.1 LTS. When using Google Chrome, the keyboard stops functioning after several keystrokes. This only seems to happen while using Google Chrome and does not occur using Firefox or any other browser. We are a GAFE School board so we primarily use Google Chrome as our browser. Would anyone have a quick solution for this? One site suggested that I change the input method from IBUS to something else but I can't seem to figure out where to change this setting. Thank you Marc Tremblay Educational Services Dept Lester B.

Your problem instead involves the keyboard, and you don't say that only certain web sites trigger the problem. Nonetheless I wonder if you may be dealing with a related phenomenon. What video chipsets are involved? In any case, an easy test: disable Hardware Acceleration in Chrome Advanced Settings. My research on the above problem showed that it can be responsible for a number of issues.
