Sounds as if your computer has a serious hardware fault. If you are not
skilled at hardware troubleshooting it almost always pays to find someone
who is and have them diagnose the problem - even if you have to pay for
help.

You might try a different keyboard.

Cmos contains values for bios setup and hardware values not seen. Clear the
cmos per your PCs instructions.
