I've never noticed it. It's usually control+alt+page up or page down to change the speed like you said, but I've not noticed it changing the speed with just the page down or page up keys. Are you sure you do not have the control key locked on? Is anything beeping more than it should be? Perhaps you have the "sticky keys" function on (that only comes with a dell I think) and you've got the control key stuck on. Try hitting the controll key only once by itself and see if you here a a high pitched beep. If you do, then press the shift key until you here a kind of sweeping tone (it sweeps up to a really high pitch and then comes back down.). That will turn the "sticky key" function off. If that doesn't work, then I don't really know what to do beyond that.
