    Typing this from the laptop beause my desktop is fúcked - dunno what the problem is. I reformatted and it seemed to solve the problem but its just reurred.

    When I turn on the PC, it seems fine but on reaching the boot screen theres a clicking sound which I think is from the motherboard. From time to time there's a weak buzzer beep as well.

    The PC asks me to choose a hardware profile to use. I can toggle between "Last known good confguration" and defaut with D and L but my only available selection is "Profile1"

    Previously it had been automatically entering setup and toggling buttons as if a key was pressed, but I've tried with and without the keyboard and it seems to make no difference.

    Then when I get it to boot through Hardware profile 1, the network has limited or no connectivity. I tried to setup the network again but the whole OS acts like a key is pressed and just tabs so that i cant type into a field or use the mouse to click buttons - and I get the continuous windows error beep sound. Again, unplugging the Keyboard makes no difference whatsoever.

    ANY help would be massively appreciated. Cheers.

    Problem was that i mixed two wireless keyboard and mice sets together (one from each) - and the second keyboard which i thought was broken was in fact under my bed with half the keys jammed down by a jumper. :rolleyes:

    Now, stop laughing. As it happens the internet problems continued and after two hours of fiddling i decided that to reformat (2nd time in 2 days) would be quicker.

    Have we all stopped giggling now? :D

    Don't worry...I'm sure everyone here has had a seemingly major problem that had a really embarrassing reason behind it...but few share them openly here, so well done!
