Ok, tell this. does your keyboard work when you are in bios?? Was there any static you experienced just before you got this problem that you could recollect??
try getting a ps2 -> usb converter and connecting your keyboard and/or mouse on to usb ports and see if it works. If it does, then probably your ps2 port is gone somehow (probably due to static)
