    Hello
    I've got V3-571G Acer Aspire and have a silly and annoying problem.
    I've noticed for a few days now that whenever i press alt it is as if i pressed the X key, and the right alt does the same except it detects the Z key.

    I thought it was just a keyboard driver problem or something so removed Acer's Windows 7 which came stock and installed Windows 8.

    The problem is still there.
    Whenever i press Alt-tab for example it does Alt-tab but not before typing an X into whatever application is running(notepad, window address bar, chrome address bar, etc)

    Anyone faced this before?
