Which keyboard? I had a Corsair K30 that did that, outside of RMA, bin it and buy a new one which is what I had to do.

It works on another keyboard

 

not sure what you mean here, if the keyboard works properly on another computer then its the USB port thats the issue, not the keyboard. If your PC works fine with another keyboard attached, then it is definitely your original keyboard that is failing

I've tried to use it on every USB port and it doesn't work. Everything else works fine.

Weird as nuts .... have you updated all the relevant drivers. My Corsair keyboard and mouse tend to have the odd brain-fart if the drivers dont update properly etc.

I've also checked my drivers and I can't open them up properly. I downloaded them from the website.

Very strange as there is no logical reason for the issue ... try removing all drivers and plugging the keyboard in fresh .... other than that, buy another keyboard and see how that performs

Now it's talking about a USB composite device's driver not installing properly and the USB composite device not having enough power.

Ahh, I would say there is something wrong with the keyboard, see if you can return it and buy a new one

Remove the USB drivers. 
All of them, then restart.

It lights up at loading but turns off when I take it off starting screen.

As I said, remove all the usb Drivers then restart, that will force windows to install new USB drivers which would then, hopefully fix your problem.

I did what you said but it didn't work. But I found an error sign on my USB composite device and it is error code 10 I believe.

And I'm pretty sure it broke my mouse now too.
