Hi:
Maybe this is a hardware question, but i'm more inclined to think, that what my computer has, is a virus. So here it is:
When i start the computer it sometimes goes to the BIOS setup by itself, but sometimes it starts OK. The mouse pointer trembles on the screen like crazy, and it moves up or wherever it wants by itself. There are a bunch of keys that don't function in the keyboard. When i press the one that don't work the CPU speaker sounds. And sometimes when i open Notepad it starts writing nines (9999999999....etc) by itself. All this happened all of the sudden. I already formatted the drive twice, so it's not a Windows problem. Maybe there's a virus or trojan allocated in the BIOS. I've never seen a computer like this, so please tell me if you know something. Or if it is a hardware (motherboard) problem.

Agreed. Try a different mouse and keyboard. Using a friends is a good idea. If this works, problem solved. If not, try your key/mouse on his/her machine. If they work on his/hers, it's probably your MOBO...

Good Luck
