I would look for a sticking key (Shift?). A 301 error indicates the
keyboard did not respond to a software reset correctly or a key is
stuck down. If a key is stuck down, the scan code of the key is also
given: maybe that's what the '36' represents.
The 162 error indicates the self-test detects a bad CMOS CRC. I would
guess this error is just noise  from the keyboard problem.
