My computer screens went all black

So yea, I was just browsing the forums, no games or anything were played since I booted, and all of the sudden my screens (got dual) went black and couldn't do anything else. If I remember correctly they (screens) did not went into safe mode.

I restarted, and I think since from ever I installed Win XP 2 years ago I got a chkdisk starting at boot-up. It did found some errors at the 2 of 3 step.

So now the question is, is it my OS? My GPU? My HDD? Could the HDD fail?

 

Unidentified key held down

I know my issue is a little bit hard to explain, so I recorded it on video, and the link is at the end.

My computer behaves as if I have a key held down. When I hover with my mouse over the taskbar, over open files on windows 10 I am supposed to see a small preview, right? But it doesn't show the preview unless I move my mouse around, and then its sort of blinking. Also, when I play different games, they behave as if I pressed the wrong button.

So I wanted to know at first which button is held down on my keyboard, so I went into this Javascript Key Event Test Script: Javascript Key Event Tester

The tester should, in theory, show key events, and it shows that an unidentified button is held down.

In firefox, it shows this:



In Microsoft Edge it shows this:



Even if I disconnect my keyboard, it still insists I'm holding down this "unidentified button".

Restarting didn't help.

• I tried uninstalling the keyboard driver.
  
• I even tried to recover old version, and hard-resetting the computer back to the manufacturer settings, the problem is still there.
  

I don't know if it is related in any way (I think it isn't) I'm using an all-in-one PC, it has a touch screen. I already disabled the touch screen and the problem is still there. There no other hardware other than my mouse (and the problem is still there if I disconnect my mouse, too).

English is not my main language, and I'm not very good at computers, I am sorry in advance.

I tried to record the issue, so here's the video:

 

PrntScrn-button not available on Apple-keyboard when using WinXP?!

F14 is Print Screen in Windows. I use an Apple Keyboard in Windows all the time.

EDIT: Accidentally listed the wrong key the first time. It is now corrected.
