You already tried different keyboard and found those do not work.

 

This is not a BIOS issue or settings issue, so getting into BIOS settings will accomplish nothing.

 

Sounds like the motherboard has failed -- and replacing that could easily cost as much as simply replacing the PC. Plus, HP does not sell motherboards for their AIO PCs, so you would have to go online to buy a USED one.  And, you would have to disassemble the PC to replace the motherboard.  In addition, the Windows version on the PC is tied to the original motherboard, so if you replace it, you would have to buy your own license for Windows.

Thank you for the information. Yea. i know it wasn't a BIOS issue just mentioning in the description what i cannot do. Had a feeling it was a mother board issue.
