I have a similar problem with my 756Pro, it keys at times when the computer
is turned on. I forget the exact situation becasue the fix was to set my
TopTen DX Doubler in manual mode when I am not contesting.
For the most part, it is now not an issue.
Of course, that has caused much grief trying to get the radio to send CW on
occaissions until I remembered to put the DXDoubler back in auto :-).
