Keyboard is receiving errors at boot-up.

Question

Once a day I will have problems going to an address or entering info in a box and to remedy the problem I will have to reboot. On rebooting the windows system will either say keyboard problem or key stuck. I have replaced the keyboard twice with new ones and still recieve the stuck key displays. Any ideas? Thank you, Gary.

Since you have already replaced keyboards and your only experiencing it once a day, your motherboard may be heading for a breakdown-either with its keyboard connector or the keyboard controller chip. An experienced technician may be able to resolder the keyboard connector or replace the chip. Otherwise, you'll have to replace the entire motherboard. Hope this will answer your question.
