Okay, so I'm not sure if these things are connected, or what the problem is, but I just wanted to throw it out there and maybe get some help.
It started when I opened up a new game. It crashed my computer and upon restart, my video card driver was not working properly, causing the resolution to be screwy. After awhile of restarting it finally came back. Basically I'd open up the device manager and it would tell me there was an issue with it and I had to restart.
Later, my wireless keyboard went randomly haywire. Buttons would do crazy things, like the "Home" button writing "11s", num-lock doing mute, etc. It would type random stuff, some buttons wouldn't work. It was just done.
So I decided to reformat my comp. Needed to anyways. All went well, but now there are two issues.
Every other time I restart my computer, both the graphics card and keyboard/touchpad are non-functioning. It usually takes one or two restarts and they are fixed. It's just odd. It's basically every other time I restart my comp and it's screwed up. Tried installing new drivers and everything, but it happens like clockwork.
Secondly, my wireless keyboard is still having issues. Now, a handful of buttons simply do not work (space bar, escape, caps lock), and sometimes it lags, types random , or dies. It was rated very highly when I bought it. Also, when the keyboard starts to freak out, it makes my mouse act up (same brand as keyboard). The mouse will start right clicking when I left click, and would even ask if I wanted to delete songs in iTunes when I left clicked once. I also found some kind of sticky stuff had gotten under the keyboard. I don't remember ever spilling anything on it but maybe that contributed? Still... for it to be FREAKING out so much it would have had to have fried something right? I tried changing the batteries a few times too.
I've done full virus sweeps to no avail. The reformat cleaned up my comp but left the problems. Please help! If there are any questions just ask.
