Have you tried a PS2 keyboard

 

[atom715]

yes that is what i tried first and no response (ie. num lock, caps lock, screen lock lights). then the other two keyboards i tried both light up(back light keys and the locks)

Buy or borrow a native PS/2 keyboard and plug it in to the motherboard's purple PS/2 jack on the rear of your PC.

By 'native' PS/2 I mean a proper PS/2 keyboard, not merely a USB one with a PS/2 adapter on the end of it.

Might try resetting the CMOS via the mobo jumper (and make sure the CMOS battery is in properly (normally shiny side up)

 

[atom715]

The battery is in the correct placement and I don't know what a more jumper is. Should I maybe flash the bios since I took the bios battery completely out of the motherboard

 

[Tradesman1]

The battery itself needs to have the proper side down so it works. On your mobo (check the manual) there should be a jumper for resetting the CMOS (normally plastic covering two pins, you remove it and place it to the middle and exposed pin for a minute or so and then replace to original position - actual instructions should be in manual also

the plastic cover you were talking about was the issue. i didnt know it was a problem and i removed it when i was installing the heatsink and when i put it on then booted up my computer i worked. thank you so much

No worries, have fun!

HI
I experience the same problem. Resetting CMOS does not work.
After you turn on the computer, the ASUS logo can hang for a few minutes, then he enters the BIOS. While for displaying DEL or F2 - DEL or F2 does not work.
Installing Windows 8.
Very long process of the Windows 8 setup will choose the HDD and then gives the that can not be installed.
