I am trying to boot from USB so I can install a couple different Linux distros. I can enter the BIOS, but as soon as I enter the BIOS the keyboard lights switch off (Num Lock and Caps Lock) and I cannot use the keyboard to do anything in the BIOS or even exit or restart the PC using Ctrl+Alt+Del or do anything at all with the keyboard.
But as soon as I boot back into Windows, everything is fine…
I've never had this problem before and some Googling hasn't helped. I've tried using a few other keyboards and simply unplugging/replugging the keyboards, but it didn't work.
Is there anything I can do in Windows to maybe find out why the keyboard isn't working in the BIOS screen?
In the Device Manager, all the drivers are up to date and there are no conflicts.

try using non usb keyboard, one with PS/2 connector.
