Default Keyboard problems

I have always had problems with my keyboard not responding (and beepingsounds coming from my computer) if i press too many keys in at once(about 4 tops, some combinations just 3), that I could live with. But now the problem has become worse. Now I can't even press shift+x to make a X, I have to press caps for that. Playing games is almost impossible as you can't walk w+a but only can press one ''walk button'' at a time, also if you check the '' marks you'll see I've had to make them with the ' mark. So this is getting on my nerves... Finally.. How do I fix this issue?? A answer would be really really nice Thanks.

Make sure that the keyboard case isn't broken or bent. After a hard smash or two, , things can get bound up in there and the keys can get stuck. Maybe you have a key or two that has been "locked" down mechanically. Take the case apart, or at least take a really good look at every key, and make sure that everything is straight and pops back up. Good Luck.

Default It's worse than that :P

Yes, I thought that at first but since other combinations of the same key works that kind of makes no sense, for example: I can't do the '' without using ', but I can do a @ and the sHIFT key works good aswell, just that some letters cant be done in higher case.

Default New keyboard

Unless you have a sentimental attachment to your current keyboard, just buy a new one. Hell, if you want to pay for shipping I'll give you one. Find a local computer repair shop and I'll bet you can avoid the frustration and anger of the old keyboard and spend a couple of bucks on a new-to-you keyboard. For a problem like this, the money you spend on a new piece will be worth the effort of trying to find out why your old spent keyboard hit the end of it's life cycle.

I could do that but I doubt it would help because now I barely can start up my computer, it starts beeping and the xp-screen is loading forever. It's odd because I'm absolutely sure there is no viruses/spyware etc and I'm currently only using up 30gb on the harddrive for ''vital'' programs (~10gb is the steamfolders fault). I have had problem with the computer being to hot (~65 celcius when it's idleing) and that have been the past reason of problems (my pc froze every now and then), but I believe it might have something to do with the ''aftereffects'' of that.

Default Waaaait a minute..

Hey, maybe you're right. First of all it's a "pattern" of the keys which do not respond. 2wsx does not respond to shift. Also, maybe the beeping sounds coming from the computer might indicate that the keyboard isn't functioning correctly. Ill get a hold of a new keyboard as fast as I can and try, otherwise I'm back here in a flash
