keybord no longer works

Hi.
I just built my first computer and everything was working fine. I bought a copy of xp to put on it and as I was instaling it I noticed that my keyboard just stopped responding and could no longer proceed in staling windows. I tried restarting it and accesing setup by presing del but the keyboard still will not respond. The only normal thing is when I power up the three lights on the keyboard light up twice and then reamain dead. So I am suspecting its a problem with the motherboard maybe? Can this be fixed? I dont really wanna buy a new motherboard.

Oh I also tried reseting the CMOS RAM via the jumper. This didnt fix the problem.

Have you tried the keyboard on a different computer and a different keyboard on this one?
