keyboard virus or that is what icall it. Comp wil not boost past del screen it keeps coming up only key that works is F2 if you try to press another key a message comes up hat there is a keyboard error and the keyboard wil no longer work. It is not the keyboard it works fine on other comps. And putting other keyboards on this comp causes the same results. Guess comp repair store has had a few comps come in with same prob. Anyone know the solution?

Keyboards can't get infected by a virus. Is this a USB keyboard? Have you tried a PS2? What happened immediately preceding this?
