The event is i8042prt
The description is : exceed the number of allowable retries, configurable via the registry.

I can configure the registry, but the question is what to configure? Anyone help?

Check that your keyboard or mouse buttons are not being accidentally depressed. I had a similar problem on one of our servers, whereby the person who checked the backup every day was logging out and then stuffing the keyboard down the side of the server cabinet!
