From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Are either KVM powered by an AC adapter or are they riding off the 5v rail of your PC?
I had a very similar problem and found that the 5v on my PSU was going bad, and as devices powered down/up the KVM would vanish for a second and reconnect.
The first one was powered by 5v off a dedicated usb charger. The new one uses an A/C adapter
