    Hey guys, sorry for writing this in the aspire one forum but it's the only foru§m I'm a member of.
    I have a really weird problem on my desktop computer (Asus K8N4-E deluxe motherboard, regular ps/2 keyboard, Geforce 6600 graphics card)
    I first noticed it shortly after installing some Nvidia software to overclock my crappy 6600 gpu. I'm not sure if that is a coincidence or if it's related.

    The problem is, my computer randomly spits out these guys §§§§§§§ (with shift it becomes ½½½½½)
    It doesn't seem to be a keyboard issue since when I tried unplugging the keyboard it actually got worse (several § per second instead of one § every few seconds)
    It also doesn't seem to be a virus issue since the same happens when I boot into bios setup.
    Have I somehow screwed my hardware when experimenting with overclocking?
    Any ideas? I'd be really greatful for any help since I really can't afford new hardware.
