Unpredictable!

I came in to office yesterday morning and started to do work on one of the file. There's no instruction from the court to prepare anything in written form but I do need to prepare somehow just in case the judge ask for it later. While I was preparing, typing, researching, I suddenly realise the text on the screen wasn't that of what I typed. Suddenly, all turned to symbol and therefore, I stop typing... and even that, wording & symbol generated it on the screen by itself. First thing came to mind then was that my computer was infected. I quickly did a scan and it turned out to be free from viruses and/or malwares. With that, I turned off my computer and was trying to restart the computer. I switched on my computer, I saw the ACER logo and thereafter, a loud 'beep' sound which was loud enough to force me to press the button to switch the computer down. I tried it a few time and the same scenario occured and I started to worry about my written submission and/or other files in my computer. To ease my tension, I have no choice but to call my cousin who is the expert. He asked me a few questions and thereafter, he asked me to send the computer to him to do some testing.
Right after I spoke with my cousin on the phone, a friend called telling me she's going home as she's unwell. So, I have then decided to get 2 things done yesterday. Not my written submission because I have no computer to work it out and I have signed everything I should sign and so, I went and send my computer to my cousin's place, then brought my friend for lunch. After that, I decided to go home to get changed as I can predict that I will be busy in the afternoon. Just when I came out from my place, my cousin called to tell me the bad news. The computer's keyboard is faulty and it need to be replaced. But Acer has no stock on that old product anymore so, I might need to carry an external keyboard (I am using the flexible keyboard now...don't try.. it's lousy). Another option is to go around shops to look for a second hand keyboard. You can't believe how 'lucky' I was. For the first time, I found it... but the price is RM280 and it needs 4 to 5 days to ship from KL to KK. On top of that, there's no guarantee of it going to be working. So...
After I came out from my cousin's place around 2pm, I sent my friend to a clinic. She ended up in the clinic for hours... until 5:30pm. And that's what I did while she's suffering in th clinic, to search for my computer's keyboard.
I was feeling hopeless yesterday... with too many things floading in my mind.... so many things that's not within my control, so many things that's happen without warning... and I am just feeling 'tired' of myself, the world, my future, etc. etc.
What should I do with my computer now? ... this external keyboard is slowing down my working process.
