Keyboard typing wrong keys

[avaagava]

I have a computer with a PC Chips M598LMR motherboard in it, recently after switching to a USB keyboard it has started typing the wrong keys (ie. instead of "s" it'll type "t" or instead of "enter" it'll type"q" ) and I can't seem to get it back to an usable state. I've gone back to a keyboard with the regular PS/2 connection and I've made sure that the setup in Windows is right. It even screws up when I'm in the Bios. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Just an idea, but can you try the USB keyboard on another system? If it acts screwy in BIOS I'd tend to think that the electronics inside the keyboard that identifies which key was pressed is fried.

This has got to be one of the more interesting problems I've read on these boards. 🙂

Scan your system for a virus.
