The icons on my desktop keep flickering ,i cant type into the browser or create a word document without either filling up with letters automatically and the computer shuts down frequently on its own.Can any kind person suggest a solution particularly to stop the browser filling up with letters(when i try to type) and so preventing me from typing? Would really appreciate some help! Sytem restores dont solve the problem

Hello, is the browser search bar filling up with the same letter you are typing or is it random?

You can try swapping the keyboard or updating the drivers for your existing keyboard by going to Start>Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager: Select the keyboard and either double-click or right-click and go to properties, select the driver tab and choose to update the driver ( you need to be connected to the internet ).

Alternatively, you can go to the manufacturers website to look for driver updates.

Just a wild thought, have you done a complete system maintenance overhaul to include a check for malware first, then the usual maintenance routines?
