The things I would check are

- Does the keyboard work if you plug in a PS/2 mouse not a USB one [I
have met VIA hardware with this behaviour]
- Turning off USB legacy support in the BIOS - this does affect PS/2
behaviour as it makes the BIOS fake USB as PS/2 and vendors do get it
wrong now and then
- Make sure the PS/2 keyboard isn't turned off in the BIOS (not many
allow that though)

If the keyboard works in some situations and not others its very unlikely
to be a physical fault.
