problem with PC, seems like space bar is stuck

[Themkman]

Hi guys

I have this really random problem, this is the 3rd time this has happened to me, every other time i have just had to re-install windows to get it to stop, Basically PC (windows 7) acts as if the space bar is constantly being pressed down, its not, I have removed the space bar, still does it, changed keyboard, still does it, removed keyboard, still does it.....

so what the hell is happening, it always seems to activate while i am playing video games, but sometimes months apart, I really do not want to wipe my PC again and install, Also when i restart/shut down the pc it stops for a while then starts again,


has any one got a clue??????

Any help will be very much appreciated

Hi there!

Does this happen if you start the PC up in safe mode?

its hard to tell as, when i restart or shut down the PC it stops, for what could be 10 mins or a few days, and as i said it only seems to get activated in games, suddenly a game will stop responding, and then the space bar issue is there, I have been searching through google, to see if there is a command on the keyboard that might make it do something like this, but found nothing.

I did the same thing, but only came up with viruses as the cause. So with that in mind, perhaps a run through with Malwarebytes would be a good step.
