You're running an HP laptop as a hackintosh? That kind of muddies the waters.

That aside, I'd suggest having someone reseat the cable for your keyboard, which can be straightforward or a massive pain in the rear end depending on how that exact model is put together. You can usually find decent teardown videos for more laptops online. Even so, what you describe sounds like behavior I have seen in failed keyboards both laptop and desktop, where a vertical stripe of keys goes out or otherwise misbehaves.

You might first see if the behavior persists in Windows or Linux, since it sounds like are running a highly non-standard OS on that hardware.
