It sounds like one if your keyboard keys is breaking. The BIOS doesn't like when a key is held down while booting. It doesn't have to be a key you normally use like "T" it could be a key you never touch like "Scroll Lock". This wouldn't cause errors while typing. If on the other hand you get a long string of TTTTTTTTT while trying to type something you know where the problem is.
