s.o.s., sick operating system, help!

Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend and enjoying this last day with those you love most!
Robert and I attended his baby sister’s 50th birthday party yesterday and I faired well throughout the six hours we were in attendance! We were both thankful that the location was here in our town rather than a few hours away! YAY!
Anyhoo, I’m in trouble with my PC and I’m hoping some of you can give me some advice as to what the trouble may be.
I had sat down to my PC early Friday evening to reboot it along with Robert’s while awaiting my son, Luke’s arrival with his girlfriend to file a FASFA application for him. Robert’s computer rebooted as usual, however, mine did not!
On occasion, Windows Vista gets stuck, but I’ve always been able to overcome the issue and move right along. Not this time.
After turning the computer on and off two or three times, as I was trying to F8 and to no avail, I realized that my keyboard lights were not on, so that is the reason I was not able to get into safe mode or to run a diagnostics.
I connected another functioning keyboard with the same outcome. While I was still fiddling with my system, Robert connected my keyboard to his computer and it was working. So, I am not sure what is going on and this is now beyond my technical knowledge! HELP! Please!
I was hoping to finish up the journaling strips for *Heartfully Yours* and to design my contribution for the Mega Blog Train that departs tomorrow morning and am now having to scrape things together on the laptop as best I can until I can figure out what I am up against with my PC.
I shall GREATLY appreciate any insight y’all can give me, anything I can feasibly do on my end to get beyond looking at the Dell window that I am stuck on!
By the way, my keyboard does not work with ANY of my six plus USB ports. Could there be corruption going on somewhere possibly? If so, how do I tackle that not being able to get my system to F8? Should I take the hard drive out and try connecting it to another computer?
Thank you SOOOO much in advance for your help! Y’all are THE greatest at coming to my rescue!
MWAH!
Much love,
Linda :D
