When I try to access my BIOS, my keyboard doesn't seem to work when I keep pressing [Delete]. I tested other buttons, but got nothing, so I thought the issue was with my keyboard. I also flipped the "BIOS" switch, which helps access older BIOS', but it didn't help (my keyboard isn't exactly an old model either). Since then I have tried a myriad of keyboards. Some of you may ask if I have used a PS/2 keyboard, however my mobo does not have support for those kinds. If it helps, I'm running Windows 7 Professional SP1 64bit.  These are my specs, too:

You need a different keyboard.

 

My mechanical won't boot into BIOS either. Just dig up some cheap 5$ OEM dome keyboard, it should work fine. 

 

I'm also using a PS/2 port right now.

 

Have one, didn't work

 

I have tried non-mechanical keyboards, USB, PS/2, different switches, nothing of them seem to respond. What about my CMOS?

you might as well try, but I don't think it would matter.

have you tried using front panel USB ports?

Does your MOBO  have a fast boot option? sometimes it wont allow you to go into the BIOS when this is selected as it jumps past some of the POST procedures for speed.

 

If that fails try resetting CMOS?

I checked, I don't think that's the reason. I do have an SSD, but I doubt those are related. 

 

The CMOS... I looked up how to reset it, but the posts were largely inconclusive. Would you guys mind breaking it down for me, I pretty new to the PC sense  :unsure:

there should be a header on the motherboard saying Clear_Cmos or Reset_Bios.Unplug you power switch and plug it into the Clear_CMOS or Reset_BIOS header
