You haven't said what sort of keyboard - if it's a wireless keyboard - tried
1/ checking the batteries
2/ changing channel to connect to receiver?

Are you posting using the problem pc? If not, try an old-style PS2 keyboard
into the PS2 port (or, USB keyboard into USB port - this should be picked up
and installed as generic. That should get the pc functional while you try
other solutions.
