    Hmm... looks like BIOS / firmware problems. Can you try the following:

    1. Reset BIOS settings to defaults (difficult without actually being able to enter BIOS, requires pressing F2)
    2. Rewrite or update BIOS. This can be done from Windows or DOS, see the guide in my signature.

    Did anything happen physically to the keyboard (coffee spill or whatever?). I suspect not.

    Another thing that might be tried is reseating the keyboard connector. But first do the BIOS update and see if that fixes the issue.
