So I was alt-tabbing around through my programs when all of a sudden my system speaker beeped. My keyboard completely locked up and did nothing. I restarted my computer manually and when I booted it up, the keyboard still didnt work. I repeated that for a while and I eventually gave up. A friend of mine told me to update the bios and clear CMOS. I flashed the bios using my mobo's integrated software(in windows) and cleared CMOS. Now my keyboard still doesn't work. I've tried clearing CMOS again and still no luck, but now the problem is my computer is stuck at the screen before Windows that says, "PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE PRESS DEL TO EDIT SETTINGS" and I cant use my keyboard. I've tried inserting my windows cd and it doesn't boot from it (probably because I cleared CMOS).

Any ideas?
