Can't get into BIOS on HP-computer

Hi everyone!

 

I'm trying to get into the BIOS of a desktop HP-computer I had laying around in the basement to switch the boot-order and whatnot but for some reason no matter what keyboard I try it wont let me get into the BIOS by clicking ESC or any other key. (The splash screen says that I should press ESC for BIOS and F10 for setup)

I've tried to reset CMOS but that doesn't do anything.

 

Right now this is just increasing my hate for HP and all OEM-computers alike and any ideas would be very appreciated.

ps/2 keyboard

Unfortunately this motherboard only has USB but yeah PS/2 would have been great, has always worked for me on other computers to get into the BIOS without issues.
