Sounds like the keys on the keyboard are bad. Try re-seating the keyboard connections to the motherboard, can also boot off a Linux Live usb stick and see if they work under that OS. Test it for a while.

What do you mean about "not working"....do they give you different characters / numbers or does nothing happen when you hit them?

If nothing happens, it is probably a mechanical failure.

If you see odd characters or #s, maybe you changed your keyboard language (Windows logo key + space bar) or hit a numlock key which changes regular keys to #s?
