I don't think a system will boot into Windows without a working keyboard so that might be the root of all your problems. Replace it with one you know works and see what you get.

I'd guess something is pooched about the system then.

Does it post at all? (Do you see the boot screen but can't get into bios?).

What's the motherboard make/model? Not all boards use "Del" as the "enter BIOS" keyboard button.

Maybe you could try the front usb ports on the case? or switch cases and re-configure the headers for the usb ports. Are there any bulged capacitors? if that doesnt work check and see if you didnt accidentally change the jumper settings for the cmos battery or just swap out the cmos battery all together.
