Random Keystrokes Problem

Hey everyone. Lately I have been having a problem with random keystrokes. I noticed it started around when Windows 7 went live. I have an MSDN copy that I received from my college, but the problem hadn't occurred before. I thought maybe it was because my drivers for my Logitech Desktop Wave were out of date or just acting out, but I updated the software and still get the problem. Basically the problem is as follows:

I will be playing World of Warcraft and randomly I will be tabbed out of the game and whatever key I'm pressing at the moment will make the system sound off a bunch of beeps like when you can't type anymore. It will do it when I'm not even using my keyboard or mouse too. I leave iTunes running in full-screen visualization and will come back to the visualization gone.

I hadn't thought to try that.. lol. Definitely not the keyboard and mouse.. though. I plugged in an old wired mouse and keyboard that never gave me any problems and it still happens. I even tried turning off a gadget that I had put on my desktop recently. Any other ideas?
