As someone else mentioned, make sure the keys are in the right formats - putty 
supports ssh keys, but they are in putty native format. See the FAQ for 
putty: 

Q: Does PuTTY support reading OpenSSH or ssh.com SSH-2 private key files?
A: PuTTY doesn't support this natively, but as of 0.53 PuTTYgen can convert 
both OpenSSH and ssh.com private key files into PuTTY's format.
