    I bought this laptop about in August 2014.

    It was running fine until, in mid-2015, I noticed a very strange behavior in the keyboard of this notebook.

    It would suddenly automatically start pressing backspace key at random times and I was unsure what caused it, Infect, I even changed my Windows but the problem persisted.

    Recently, my laptop fan started to make very loud grinding noises, that's when I noticed something very strange.

    Whenever my fan starts to run at a full speed, my keyboard starts pressing arrow up/ arrow down or arrow left or backspace randomly which is quite annoying especially when I am typing or coding.

    I am quite curious as what causes keyboards to act wildly when my laptop fan is running at full speed?

    What can be wrong?

    Looking forward to your insights...
