We are looking for possible explanations. A problem with your keyboard (from
the BIOS's point of view, not yours) is a likely explanation. If you refuse
to try the suggestions made, on the grounds that you know that they are
wrong, it is difficult to help you.
In your position I would try several different keyboards of several different
types. As many as possible. If you can't lay your hands on another
keyboard, then you may be stuck. Do none of the suggestions that do not
involve keyboards help?
Can you get someone to show you the repeated-clicking method to make sure that
you are doing it correctly?
Perhaps your motherboard is the thing that is faulty???? There is something
wrong with something.
Have you thought of upgrading my simply upgrading?
Though make sure you know
what to do before you do it.
