Hey everyone! Wasn't really sure where to post this but ill put it here.

Im running windows 8.1 and the keyboard is a CM Storm Devestator should it be of any importance.

This started maybe a week or more ago, im not quite sure. After turning my pc completely off, when I turn it on again some keys stop working completely. This has happened after every startup so far. The keys are always the same, T, Y, Shift and Caps Lock, though there might be more, those are the ones that are most noticeable. After say, 5 or more minutes, they start working again and remain working until i turn my pc off and on again.
This computer is brand new and so is the keyboard and everything else.

Now this is not a huge problem as the keys start working again, but it is getting pretty damn annoying. I guess a solution would be to have the pc on 24/7, but im hoping you guys can help me fix it properly :)
 
Solution
I'd be returning a brand new keybd that wasnt working perfect. As for your issue, it could be a cold solder that makes a connection as things warm up.
