Follow the BIOS reset instructions to the letter and take your time.. seems the easiest fix you can do to a computer and probably the most important... that being the last option may be the solution..

BIOS resets are important, and can mean the difference between a trashed and a working computer. Once the BIOS resets, probable corruption is removed leaving the BIOS software in default settings and normal working order, and whould allow you to change necessary settings, or you may not have to do a thing in it. It may start anew and automatically recognize your HDD and USB

Great!!!... glad that it was that simple... one more suggestion; If you've been using the computer for a few years, replace or at least buy a new BIOS battery when you get the chance. I suspect the battery may be weak and removing it, creared out corrupted settings, but if the battery is old & weak, there's the possibility BIOS corruption may happen again.. it may take a while but better prevent it or be prepared with a new battery... And if the computer is recent buy or build, there's the possibility one of the viruses you cleaned caused the BIOS corruption.

You mean; the game/browser window minimizes when you run it fast?

1. Do you run it in expanded window (click on top right window size icon)?
2. Or resized window with the mouse, to fill the screen?
• If 2, try pressing the ctrl key and expand the window with a click on the expand window icon, (top right) and next close it from the file menu, after it closes release the ctrl key. This will make the program remember the window size.
• If you use 1 to expand the window, the issue may be graphics issue. What GPU are you using?.

3. Keyboards can stop working from: a) BIOS is corrupted, b) virus infection, c) motherboard issues d) PSU issues.
