I also had problems with my keyboard but I found out that it was a
problem with my power supply overheating which was causing my keyboard
to do funny things.  Anyway I cured my problem by installing a fan on
the power supply which gets me through the summers.  The long term
solution is to replace the old electrolytic capacitors in the power
supply as they dry up and loose their effectiveness.

Good luck
