The letters "r", "y", and "i" are generating "5r" "7y" and "8i" when pressed. I have to go back and delete them. The space also causes my computer to system beep.

Example of what happens without corrections :

"th8is i8s a test and i8 am be8ing p8issed off and 8i want to k8ill m7yself. the5re has neve5r been anothe5r t8ime whe5re 8i was ang5r7y l8ike th8is."

HELP

have u tried a different keyboard?

tried a different one, even worse on that one

what about restarting the computer? or u could do a system restore but i doubt that would help

do you have numlock or anything similar on?

I had that problem... have you tried removing all the problem keys and checking theyre not gunged up or anything. I had to get a new keyb when it happened to me, as trying to fix it made my "6" key jam on when i pressed u, i, j, k, m and ,

Jusdging by the fact those keys are next to the ones that are randomly being pressed, i sounds like youve got to have something under them, or its screwed up and a new one is the only option

Alright, I am about to check under the keyboard. But it happened with another keyboard I had to...I hope its not my motherboard.

And, Im sorry that my replies arent as long and detailed as they ought to be, but it is really hard to type something decent without getting aggrivated.

use the on screen keyboard.

that is probably the mostannoying thing in the world, im not sure what could cause that problem, its most likely the input into the computer, check if the ports are clean etc...

i had same/similar problem last week i spilt guiness in mine but it was seriously gunkd when i took it apart anyway so I got a USB keyboard and unfortunately youm cannot use it during startup (so no advanced/ editing options for me) unless any of you know a solution
