    Hello,

    I'm a proud owner of a Clevo P150EM laptop but sometimes when I boot into windows my keyboard goes crazy and keeps typing ******** forever! Only after a while and some random key presses in despair, the keyboard stops doing that and starts to function normally.

    I have the original keyboard that came with the laptop in 2012.

    Already unmounted the keyboard to see if anything is wrong and it appears to be in order so I really don't know whats wrong.

    Didn't drop any water or anything and regularly clean the laptop.

    So what might be? Driver problems? (I'm on windows 10) Or should I just give up and buy a new keyboard?

    Thanks,
    Regards,
    António

    I have the PremaMod Bios installed, because I've recently upgrade my graphics card to GTX970M. Do you think it's related?

    that could happen if the little clips that hold the keyboard ribbons are not both in place. On my Eurocom Sky X9, if I press one, the other one goes up, so you need to press them both together until they are firmly in place.
