Friday keyboard wasn't Detected on startup no problem. Saturday my CPU fan wouldnt start, had to spin it to start it. All along I would get random gfx card driver fails about kernel mode something. Yesterday I restarted comp it was driver failing for 10 mins before it came stable. Then my keyboard went Wack. Space would enter a q and hit my windows key. T would hit f as well: backsPace wouldn't erase insted it would enter a /. Help!!! Is my graphics card dead? This always happens when I don't buy pre made :( all graphics drivers fail no matter the version, for at least 10 mins before t stops balck screening. This happen to 3 other cards I baught from best buy. I don't overclock

i'd say to use eraser to clean the contact/fingers for your memory and video card. use compress air to clean of the contacts. also use compress air to clean out our system motherboard and power supply. also use air to clean your cpu fan. its good to hold fan while using air so u wont spin the cpu fan too fast.

also update the bios for motherboard. boot up issues are hardware related...drive rs issues could be failing hwd due to heat related failure or possible corrupted drivers (bad sectors if using hard drive)

reimage is always good if u suspect your system has spyware/malware etc. Edited Thu Nov 03 2011, 06:32PM

its probably the motherboard or psu. I'd try a different psu first. get that thing out of there, it could do damage to your hardware. what motherboard and psu do you have? Edited Thu Nov 03 2011, 07:03PM

hm, that wouldn't explain the cpu fan. 3 things acting strange at once usually points to a psu or motherboard but I guess 3 things went bad, lol.
