    Keyboard error - mixed buttons? Can't login or boot


    Hi! I have pretty much similar problem than described in this thread,
    Only backspace works on startup
    except that I can't press F8 to open boot screen.
    I only could get in the boot screen when I cold restarted, but my keyboard "don't recognize" any buttons, so windows will start normally to prompt a password.
    I tried to use boot using my windows installation cd, but I can't "press any key to boot from cd/dvd..."

    What could be causing this? I had another problem like this(none of the keys worked) before this, but I was able to log in using "visual keyboard-function". I re-installed drivers, solved problem.
    Now I can't use visual keyboard at all

    To add
    -Both times, there was an security update (avast, malwarebytes) before the malfunction.
    -I tried two keyboards, and several USB ports.

    Is there anyway to boot my pc? Any help would be appreciated

    You tried two different keyboards and none worked?

    As well as multiple usb ports?

    Does your computer have a ps2 connector, the non usb connection for keyboards? Maybe you could find a old ps2 keyboard if your ps has the connection and use that...

    Tried resetting bios defaults?


    Here is a whole guide if you do get the keyboard to work:
