So, I've got this bizarre issue where my PC turns off instantaneously whenever I press any key on my keyboard. I can't even log in because it shuts down right away! The strange thing is, my mouse works fine—it's only the keyboard that has this issue. I'm new to all this tech stuff and need some guidance on what's going on. Additionally, my keyboard seems to be acting up; pressing the shift key gives me a '{' instead of the expected function, and many keys don't respond at all. This sudden problem appeared overnight, and I'm at a loss here. If anyone has experienced something similar or knows how to fix it, I would greatly appreciate your help!

Have you tried using a different keyboard? Sometimes the problem could just be an issue with your current one. I would suggest connecting another one and seeing if your PC still shuts down. If it does, then the problem might lie deeper in your system.
Honestly, you might consider resetting your PC or reinstalling the operating system if you haven't already. Sometimes these weird issues can occur because of corrupted files. You can create a bootable USB stick to install a fresh OS.
It sounds like your PC could have some hardware issues as well. Maybe something is loose inside? If you're up for it, you might want to check the connections inside your case. Just make sure everything is secure!
Wow, that sounds frustrating! Regarding your keyboard's weird behavior, after connecting a different keyboard, did it still have the same weird key mappings? If so, you might want to check your keyboard settings or drivers just in case they went haywire.
