    I presume the mouse is still working, .. Open device manager in the control panel & look down to keyboard/mice. If there is a yellow sign beside this right click select uninstall, right click an empty area select scan for hardware changes & reinstall again..

    worth a try.. With the 2 connected is the device mgr seeing both & telling you both are working. If so it has to be a conflict...

    Remove the old keyboard and reboot,

    Also try a different usb port to rule that out

    after reboot you should have a option to press F10 for the bios check and see if you can access that with the new keyboard -
