It sounds like your keyboard is either dying or has moisture ingress causing keys to stick.

Not sure if being sarcastic.
The notification saying usb not connected is a defo hacker attack followed by the screen scrambling and this.
I have had enough it seems like there is hardly any protection for windows pcs with attacks like this.
I invested a lot of money in a pc like this and for what?So some pos can hack me in seconds/ Unless there is a credible solution i really don't know.

L and T?

This is a well known and documented hack. It requires the attacker to use a high gain Bluetooth satellite dish and have SOME degree of line of sight. There were a number of BIOS updates released for affected products so I would check the manufacturers site for relevant firmware releases.

The more commonly used satellite dishes (cheaper ones) have quite prominent power lights on them. I would suggest turning off all the lights in the house and then observing the surrounding area out to about 100m. This should be easier this time of the year given it gets dark quite early.

Keep an eye out for movement also as unless the attacker has lots of battery units they will need to go somewhere to charge. The dishes use quite a lot of power and I would be surprised if they can continue an attack for much longer than 30 minutes off one charge.

Edit - There was some news coverage of it a few months ago.

my god the lengths people go to.
On a side note i reformatted again however this time i didn't install any drivers and utilities via usb stick and it seems but better.
I wonder if anyone else has the same setup as me motherboard wise and can clarify issues with the drivers?
 
Ok so I have hit a bit of a milestone.
Since i didn't install intel ME , thunderbolt and other drivers it seems to be system clean.
However when i attempted to download the chipset driver from asus website it said it was an infection.
I researched to find out that Intel ME is a software allowing people to control the pc remotely.
Bit puzzled why these drivers cause such problem, but am seeing some light at the end of the tunnel.
 
Sort of.
While the drivers and utilities weren't installed. Have had less issues.
The antivirus now does not have 300+ protected files.
It seems those software installed a back door,
This is quite disgusting tbh.
I hope to be more knowledgable one day and help others, don't believe in using those skills for negative reasons, wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
First thing i will do my a+ and then cisco if i can.
It seems ignorance is the downfall of humanity.
Thanks for your comprehensive help.
On a sidetone does anyone here cisco certified?
 
Right well back now.
The pc doesnt seem to be highjacked till today.
Was on steam and playing just cause 4 , checked pc no viruses, nothing.
Uninstalled game took off cloud saves, everything ok first 10mins. Then the games stutters like crazy in undemanding areas.I mean reall stutter unplayable.
Like someone has a device and is toying with me.
Can any of you geniuses out there tell me whats going on??

Just to add this was happening without an ethernet cable.
