PC reboots after smashing the keyboard

[nox770]

Hi everyone.
Today when I got mad on my PC I smashed the keyboard very hard which caused a reboot with all fans on max speed. After that my PC keeps rebooting randomly the same way. CPU and GPU temps are fine. PSU seems to be fine too. I disabled an auto reboot in control panel to check if that was a BSOD but it did not help, it keeps rebooting without any screens or massages. Tried to install latest GPU drivers did not help either. Tried Windows repair and restore form backup- Nothing I do not know if smashing keyboard caused this or its just a coincidence.

PC specs:
gigabyte z77x-D3H
core i5 3570k (stock)
gtx 670 evga
corsair vengeance 8gb
windows 7 home sp1

Oh.. I have never heard of anything like this before... How often does it reboot?

replace your keyboard

Can a keyboard cause random reboots with no error massages? It works fine btw.

weird things happen. if u smashed it, replace it and test.

Its very random , sometimes right after the login screen, sometimes when I start any application.

Are you using it right now, or a separate PC?

I am using my laptop but my PC is running right now and its been about 30 min since last reboot. I decied to unplug the keyboard ( since I have no replacement right now) and keep my PC under the load without it. See if it works ))) No clue what else should I try.

So far PC working fine with the unplugged keyboard. Still cant believe that a dead keyboard could cause random reboots.

I'm just as surprised, maybe some keys got stuck down as hotkeys or something.

Which keys could possibly start an instant reboot with all fans on max speed ?

Windows Key, Right Arrow Once, Enter. Not a likely chance of happening randomly but there is still the chance.

According to this topic http://www.thewindowsclub.com/how-to-fix-random-computer-freezes-and-reboots-caused-due-to-hardware-problems a faulty keyboard can cause random reboots.

Well turns out its not a keyboard cuz my PC just rebooted once again without keyboard and did it again right at the windows log in. Any other suggestions?

How long did it go without rebooting?

Does anyone know how accurate is memtest86 & The reason I am askin is because I removed 1 of my ram sticks and had no crashes for 18 hours, I ran that stick on memetest86 and no errors were found. I figured that slot might be dead and put that stick back into another slot and start gettin crashes again
