So the next letter I type deletes the highlighted area. Sometimes the cursor jumps to another row and highlights a word there. It is driving me mad. I tried looking at keyboard settings and switching off all autocorrect functions but that did not help. The system tells me that all the drivers are up to date and that the keyboard is functioning correctly. I am not sure what else I can do to try and reset the keyboard . It has

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
