Hi spadole,

Try the below mentioned steps and reply with results:

1. Please start the computer and enter System Setup (BIOS).
2. Restore System Setup fields to Defaults.
3. Shut down the computer and disconnect all power sources and external devices.
4. Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds and then release the power button.
5. Re-connect the power connections only and power on the computer.
6. Start tapping the F8 key and boot to the Safe Mode.
7. Check if you are able to login in the Safe Mode.
8. If you are able to login in the "Safe Mode", press and hold "Windows key" on the keyboard and press the key "R".
9. Run dialog box will be displayed.
10. Type "devmgmt.msc" (without quotations marks) and hit Enter.
11. Expand "Keyboards", right click the listed keyboard(s) and select "Uninstall".
12. Restart the computer and wait for the keyboard drivers to load.
13. Check the functionality of the keyboard now.

Hope this helps.
