could try another keyboard and if that doesn't work try this.

Clearing the BIOS. It should reset to factory defaults.

Also check the Diagnostic lights.

Do a Google for 'service "model of your PC"'

You need to get into the bios, this should work even thought the keyboard is USB. Once in the bios, change the settings in setup to Stop at everything BUT keyboard. Now go into the advanced setup and look for the USB Support option (Sometimes called USB for DOS) and enable it. Save and Exit. Problem solved
