Alienware 17 Keyboard issues

Hello,

I have a generic Microsoft 200 keyboard plugged in my USB and I'm running into two issues:

1) My keyboard goes into sleep mode every 5 seconds. I can tell because the Num Lock light goes off and comes back on when I hit any key. Sometimes I'll start typing and it won't register immediately as the keyboard "wakes up". I also hear a beeping sound"

2) If I long press a key, it seems to go into "sticky" mode and keeps pressing until I press it back again. This is especially troublesome when playing video games.

- I've checked power saving modes, all seems ok at default.
- I've checked and Sticky Keys is disabled as well as any user accessibility option.

- All drivers are up to date

Help? Thanks!
