I'm facing a really odd problem with my desktop PC where it behaves as if the space bar is constantly being pressed. Here's what I've tried: there isn't a keyboard connected, I've disconnected all USB devices, and even removed the front panel USB cables from the motherboard. The issue persists in the BIOS as well as the Windows recovery menu, making it impossible to navigate or attempt a reinstall of Windows 11. I'm beginning to think there might be some hardware damage to the motherboard. Any suggestions?

I've never encountered this issue in all my years with PCs! That's a new one for me. Good luck figuring it out!
Just to confirm, have you tried unplugging the keyboard? If the issue stops, there might be liquid damage or debris in there. If you don’t have a keyboard connected and it still happens, then it might point more towards a motherboard issue.
It sounds like a frustrating issue! Try removing all motherboard headers and resetting the CMOS. To do this, take out the CMOS battery, hold the power button for a few minutes, then put the battery back. It might also help to reseat all components. If it still happens, there could be a problem with the motherboard.
This happened to me once, and I found that disabling Bluetooth helped. Let me know if that works for you!
