I recently upgraded a computer, and although it was a little unstable (occasional instant reboot) it worked. I think the problem was with the PSU (as it was a 20pin ATX, where the Mainboard has a 24pin one) which I have since upgraded too.

Everything was OK until yesterday, the day before I installed the new PSU.

The computer will boot fine, however the keyboard does not work correctly!

When I press a key, instead of getting what I expect I get a control character or just nothing at all. (^C^B^.... etc)

I know its not the keyboard, as I have tried a few different ones, and the on-screen keyboard does exactly the same.

I'm not quite sure what would be the cause. (guess) Could the BIOS be damaged?

The board (Gigabyte H55M-UD2H) has DualBIOS, so I'm guessing its not that, or its just not recognising the fault.

I would try to re-flash it using the tools, but I cant login to windows due to not being able to type my password, or navigate the other tools due to the arrow keys not working.

Anyone have any ideas what I cant do?
 
Nope, haven't spilled anything on keyboard or mainboard.

Does the BIOS have anything to do with the keyboard? If it does I'll try to make a bootable disk that automatically flashes without needing to type or click anything.
 
Only one USB keyboard, and the USB ports (and all others) are clean, the motherboards only been out of the box a week or so.

I'm pretty sure it is nothing to do with the keyboards themselves as the issue is the same weather on PS/2 or USB
