I'd replace the CPU fan since they are cheap.

Double check the keyboard connections. You might have a bad keyboard as they do go bad.

If it is a PS/2 connector, and a replacement keyboard didn't fix the problem, the port may be done, I'd recommend a USB keyboard. If it is USB, I'd recommend trying a different port, and if you did or the replacement keyboard was USB, I really don't know what else to say, I've never seen any real issues arise with a keyboard before. Usually they just work or they don't, and if they don't a replacement does. :confused:
