Ever since I got this keyboard I've had issues testing it on my AMD systems. Usually when I plug it in the computer wouldn't recognize it at all and the keyboard would stay off. Then when I reboot the system after a long while the keyboard would be recognized by the BIOS but not by Windows. The keyboard works perfectly fine on my Intel systems.
Then I found out that it works fine when I plug it into a USB hub rather than directly into the computers. Still that doesn't solve my main issue.
I have an FX-6300 build with a Biostar A880GZ with 8GB of crucial ballistix low profile memory (1600, 8-8-8-24) running Windows Server 2012 Standard and every time I boot up the system freezes and shuts down the monitor/keyboard but keeps running. I started having this issue the moment I tried using the Cooler Master keyboard and even after swapping keyboards it still does this. Reinstalling Windows seems to be the only fix. The strange thing is that I had the Cooler Master keyboard connected the whole time I was setting up Windows and everything worked fine until after the first boot. Then this issue would start and the only way to boot into the installation is in safe mode. In there I don't find any clues as to what caused it.
On another note I also noticed that the motherboard is running my memory at 1333, 9-9-9-24 timings at 1.5 V versus the stock 1600, 8-8-8-24 1.35 V. I'm guessing the motherboard does not support low voltage memory like this.
Still I confirmed that the memory has nothing to do with this issue by swapping it with older memory and it produced the same problem.
