Windows 10: Random keys start pressing infinetly...

Hello! I have a weird problem that started recently. My Asus Claymore keyboard starts pressing a random key infinetly. But registers my key presses while pressing that random key. I uninstalled and re installed drivers but problem still exists. Recently I turned off the sticky keys for gaming. After restart keyboard works fine. Just randomly have this problem. Another weird thing is at the device manager Asus keyboard defined as a mouse and my Razer Naga mouse as a keyboard. I cant fix it please help :'(

Booting without press any key

@dhievm go ahead and list the model number that gives exact specs/info.


Does it stop right at the Toshiba logo and sit there? Will it sit forever til you press a key, or will it eventually work after so long?

 

PC starts by pressing any key!

Okay guys ive got a weird prob, my PC starts if i press ANY key on the keyboard!
I observed this started happening after i recently installed windows 8 PRO.. and yes, i do shut it down and not put it to sleep. Everything else works fine, ive got no other prob at all with Win 8. And yes, it doesn't start with mouse clicks.

Its quite irritating at times, when im study or doin some other thing on my desk and i accidentally hit a key, and there, it starts up!

Although its good that i dont have to reach to the power button everything, i dont like this, any solution to fix it?
