Anybody think they can figure out what this is?
My dad has a dell computer that he uses for work. All of the sudden, two days ago, the computer started repeatedly typing the period button non-stop until the computer would make a vibrating noise and freak out. Now the period button doesnt even work but it still continues to keep typing it until you hit another button on the keyboard, and it stops. We have updated and run Mcafee virus scan, spybot, and ad-aware and nothing comes up. We have also updated Windows. We have also deleted all cookies and files, including offline content, and still nothing works. What also happens is when we restart the computer, it makes really loud beeping noises before it does anything.
This computer is <6 months old and has not been messed around with. only used for work and email. As I'm typing this, I'm slowly loosing more buttons as well. Now the shift key won't work on certain buttons. I am having to copy and paste all periods just to type this.
Any solutions?
Thanks,
Brandon
