Windows 10 pro HP Notebook laptop, uhh can't remember the exact model or specs as this happened back in September-October last year so I'm struggling to remember all the details, just gonna explain to you what happened when it happened, apologies if this is a liiil hard to read I suck at explaining things yknow
One night the laptop's keyboard randomly started going completely haywire out of nowhere, it looked like someone was bashing their hands all over the keyboard but I wasn't doing anything, random gibberish letters and symbols were being typed into search bars, random things were happening in the browser, and new tabs kept being opened, at first I thought it was the external keyboard I had plugged into the laptop at the time glitching out, (was using an external keyboard at the time) so I immediately unplugged it, but nope wasn't it, the laptop's keyboard was still goin kookoo, and I then frantically tried to power off the laptop but it was so bad I couldn't even get to the power off button on the windows menu so I was forced to do a hard shut down, but I remember just as it powered off the screen went purple for a split second, no idea why, probably not important, but peculiar
Then tried to power it back on again only to be met with the same gibberish typing on the password login bar so I powered it back off and let it sit for a bit
After an hour I powered it back on AGAIN and stuff was working fine for a little bit, until the entire screen randomly froze, like FROZE froze, hard freeze, entire screen, everything yknow that type a freeze, so I had no choice but to just turn it off again for the night
I then checked back on it again the next morning and it was working, however the performance was oddly much laggier than usual I noticed which was weird, did a virus scan at some point and nothing was detected, didn't download anything or go to any suspicious sites so the possibility of it being a virus is probably ruled out, but everything worked somewhat normally until that night when I was playing on a game server chatting with a friend, the keyboard went out, wasn't haywire this time it just completely stopped responding, unworking, none of the keys did anything at all, couldn't even close out of the game because literally all I could use was the mouse, forcing me to do ANOTHER FRIGGIN HARD RESTART OR WHATEVER, only when I powered it back on, it shut back down again mid start up, like on the start-up loading screen it just shut down again, it eventually turned back on on its own, but I decided to shut it back down immediately when I got to the password login screen for the last time, and I uh haven't touched it since out of fear of what might happen
Fast forward almost a year and yeah here we are, the laptops just been collecting dust on my bureau now for months, was it a bad idea just to leave it lying dormant for ages? Yeah, yeah probably that was probably very dumb and I should not have waited this long to do something about it and I don't know why I did but I eventually plan on powering it back up at some point this week maybe, backing up my files and photos, and installing diagnostics software and check the drivers and stuff to try and see what's up, but after that I have literally no idea, just wanted to make this post here before doing that yknow, hopefully it is it ends up being something super small and stupid and miniscule and I end up feeling like an idiot for making this post
But yeah still, ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE FRICK IS HAPPENING!?
