I have had a weird issue with my comp for several weeks and nothing I do seems to be able to fix it.

The problem is that at seemingly random times my comp acts as if the esc. button has been pressed. my active window will stay up but be inactive. if I am playing CoX it will just deselect the window with out minimizing it. If I am watching a movie on Media Player it will switch from full screen to windowed mode. If I am writing an email or something it makes the "bong" noise like when you are trying to do an illegal action and are not typing in the window.

I have tried using Ad Aware, AVG and trendmicro's house call and none of them turned anything up. the task manager shows nothing out of the ordinary. whats going on??

Really random? Or when you press another key?

sometimes keyboard + coffee + forum or game = lol + "HS WTF! When did I drink my coffee? Got a full cup five minutes ago!" = messy keyboard and very strange behavior...

In the wild, coffees are natural parasits to keyboards.

Hope it helps, and that your problem isn't worse.

This. It sounds very much like a keyboard going bad and closing a circuit at random. Possibly a mouse issue, but I'd bet on the keyboard. Swap the interface devices out, keyboard first, mouse if that doesn't fix it, and I betcha it'll be one of them.

nothing like that, keyboard works fine and thats the only thing that happens, it is completely random but I notice it most when it does it while im watching movies. when I watch them I am not doing anything on the computer at all so its nothing on my end.
