Although I don't have an Asus motherboard, I had similar problems a few months back on AMD 64 bsd.mp. Brad and Mark Kettenis (and possibly others that I don't know of) found a problem related to processing interrupts. I filed bug report #4914 if you're interested, and the eventual patch was against sys/arch/amd64/isa/isa_machdep.c. That solved the problem for me in -current; I suspect you probably changed keyboards at the point the patch made it into -current!
