Keystrokes are create a signal on pairs of "wires" / tracings in the keyboard. IT sounds like you have a short between two tracing.

Try disconnecting and reconnecting the ribbon cable to the keyboard.

I would go with the above suggestion but if that has no effect

Load a Live Linux and see if the problem persists. If it does you have a hardware issue related to the New Keyboard and if it doesn't it's the drivers for the Internal Keyboard being shot under your OS.

You can get a Live Linux from here

Or from your Local Newsagent as a Cover Disc on a Linux Mag. Just remember using a Live Linux has no effect on your existing OS unless you chose to install it. These run from a CD/DVD and contain most of what is required to load most hardware.
