Keyboard repeat in BIOS

Last response: in Windows 7
Share

Hello,I recently restored my system using a system image and I'm having an odd issue in the BIOS..If I enter BIOS and try to make a selection with the arrow keys--say I press the down arrow---The cursor just keeps highlighting the next item and loops around--to stop it from looping I have to hit another key say the right arrow key and try to end up at the selection I want..I was able to reset the BIOS to optimal settings to no avail..
I have a Gateway DX4831 running windows 7 64bit.

Thanks,
---Yvette

Hello kamiblue_43;
Can you borrow a different keyboard to test and see if the same thing happens with another keyboard?
Will using the TAB key let you move through the BIOS screens? Cntl+Tab to move backwards I think.

Thanks everyone--Unfortunately(?)--the problem doesnt seem to be a stuck key as I tried tab(same results)and the keypad arrow keys with numlock off---I didnt try another keyboard, but I dont think its a stuck key...

any other ideas?

Thanks,

Did you ever resolve this? I have exactly the same problem with exactly the same computer (DX4831).
