I'd take it apart a wash the silicone cover that protects the internals of the keyboard from spills and debris. Maybe there is some trash stuck in there.

Hi, my computer is doing the same with a different number, and my previous computer did the same with the delete key (you can imagine the consequences). Any computer I use has this problem after about half a year using it, and after a while other keys join in typing on its own. Not every time though I start my computer, often it starts after a few minutes using it.
I have reinstalled Windows, I have reinstalled the BIOS also and nothing changed it. Then I have started on a new computer with only using UBUNTU, but after half a year the problem came back. I really don't know what to do about it...

If this is happening to you on multiple hardware and software platforms the most likely suspect is always the user. That's right... you! Whatever external hard drive or thumb drive you have been using to store your important files, or more likely, media (acquired through means you probably don't want to divulge) most likely has a hidden executable malware that is embedding itself in your systems. I suggest formatting that drive. Yes, yes... very sad to remove all of that media you worked so hard for. Nothing in life is free. If it seems too good to be true it probably is.
