Something is wrong with the USB port for the keyboard, or the connection is loose.
In my old computer (which was also home built out of my brother's extra parts), in order to plug in the keyboard successfully, I had to purchase an adapter that would allow a 90 degree bend away from the line for the mouse (which otherwise pressed up hard against the keyboard cable and prevented it from being seated in the socket fully).

Defective keyboard, defective plug or socket for plugging in keyboard (including bent pins) or burnt out circuitry for accepting keyboard data on the motherboard are popular hardware reasons. Driver issues or conflict on assignment of resources are typical software issues.
Swap in a borrowed known-good keyboard. Look carefully at the pins on the keyboard plug. Try your keyboard in someone else's computer.
There probably are diagnostic software packages that came with the computer (if it was a kit). Otherwise try downloading a program like that or use the diagnostics that come with CONTROL PANEL (using mouse to access)..
Does the POST beep pattern say the keyboard is missing? If not look over the resources assigned to keyboard in operating system.

1. Bad keyboard port
2. Bad keyboard
3. Plugged into the wrong PS/2 Port
Try a USB keyboard.

If it's a USB keyboard, you need to enable the use of a USB keyboard in the BIOS.
Something might have gone wrong during installation. Check control panel / performance and maintenance / system / hardware / device manager for your keyboard or any device with a warning symbol next to it... Right clicking, uninstalling it and restarting your system may help.

I'm going to guess it's a USB keyboard?
I bet your keyboard has died, get a new 1 from BigW or something and if it still dosn't work you can take it back and get your money back. You'll also see if it's your PC/USB port.
You might need a driver for the Keyboard, but if it's been working and now it's just stopped.... dead keyboard.

it fairly is a incredibly good build, and don't hear to the guy suggesting which you get an Nvidia photographs card particularly of the 7770. The 7770 is a huge card for it is fee, and could supply you playable physique expenditures on extremely in Battlefield 3 at 1920x1080 as long as you turn Antialiasing submit on, yet bypass away Antialiasing deferred off. My basically suggestion, even nevertheless i comprehend you're on a funds, is to spend approximately $20 greater on the processor and get an i3, whilst human beings say processors do not count plenty while it involves gaming, the version in i3s, i5s, and i7s while it involves gaming as against the different processor provides you with plenty greater useful gaming overall performance, an i3 may even beat out an FX-8120 while it involves frames in step with 2d.

Turn off the computer .
Push in tight or it could even where the mouse should go.
Reboot and....

Maybe it prefers something a little more interesting (slashdot). Blah. Did it ever work? Is it USB or PS2, and or wireless?
