Keyboard issues!

[Aldertings]

Ok, so I just came back from holiday after two and a half weeks and turn on my computer and the keyboard doesn't work. The mouse is fine but the keyboard is doing nothing, its a wireless keyboard and its connected but it doesn't work, changed the batteries reconnected etc. but still nothing. I then tried a PS/2 keyboard and that didn't work either. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is and how to fix it?

Also, its a logitech keyboard, it connects by wireless via USB and PS/2 powering the receiver and its a mouse and keyboard set. The mouse is fine but the keyboard doesn't work, so it seems no keyboards work with my pc after trying a bog standard dell PS/2 keyboard

Thanks, help is much appreciated.

Is it in the bios enabled USB keyboard/mouse support ?

Does it work to get into the BIOS menu during POST or not at all?  If it does (assuming Win OS) can you get into Safe Mode?

I cant even get into the bios with either keyboard. Is there another way into the bios? Should i clear it removing the battery? I have no overclocks, settings etc that are essential.

Also because i reset it, it did a windows 7 restore back to a point but the keyboards still aren't working.

I know it sounds stupid but do you have a second computer to check both of your keyboards?

I had a known good video card a while back (FX5200 yea I know it's really old) and when I put it into my new motherboard, I had no display output (This is like 4 years back). So I was RMA'ing the motherboard and trying all kinds of things and in the end it turned out to be my video card.
