MSI GT780DX Keyboard Phantom

Question

Hi, I recently bought a GT 780 DX laptop, the 18inch version. I am certainly not a comp wizard, but would like to ask why, 1) the laptop crackles in the left hand side, sounds like the keyboard. thought it may just need to settle, but after a few months this continues. 2) I think there may be a few problems with the keyboard. When I switch it on, it does not go directly to the windows start up, but its almost as if a phantom presses buttons on my keyboard, sending it straight to the boot menu, where I then need to click on enter to go to Windows 7 start up. Once in, there is constant flashing of icons on the desk top, as well as the bottom bar, and the small arrow used to expand the hidden icons. Clicking on any particular desktop short cut once, this icon then proceeds to flash. Going to the control panel, I have then noticed that without touching the keyboard, the different selections, get highlighted and move down constantly by themselves before I can click on my choice. Trying to use the internet is impossible, as the top address bar flashes constantly, and thats if I was lucky enough to get something typed in. Is this a keyboard problem? Where can I purchase a replacement keyboard, I live in South Africa?

Answer 1

1, Just as darkhawk said, My GT70 has a WD Black drive in it and it makes a click sometimes, its normal for it to do that.
2, That sounds so much like a Virus/Spyware, I would scan your system first with Microsoft Security Essentials(free) or Malware Bytes(free for personal use, you can pay for it if you wish) or ZoneAlarm(free for the most part). If nothing changes, consider reinstalling Windows, you shouldn't have to put up with any of that.
If all is well after reinstalling Windows then if you need a virus/malware program MSE is fine, its all I use FWIW. (its built in on Windows 8 too)
