Reset CMOS... check keyboard connection... check drive jumpers...

i cleared the CMOS, the keyboard is fine cuz i use it one my other computer and the lights flash when i turn to computer on, the Jumpers are as they were when i got the drive from western digital (i believe it has already been set to master)

Some MB's don't use the del key to get into bios, if it's a Dell, it's probably F2.

i built the computer myself, it says hit delete to go to BIOS

Is it a ps/2 or usb keyboard? If it's usb, it's possible the usb port is not turned on and especially because you just reseat the bios. Solution: use a ps/2 keyboard to turn the usb ports on. They are usually off by default a lot of the time.

If it's ps/2, could be fried, try a usb keyboard.

Also possible to be a driver kinda issue in a way.

its PS2 and it works fine, i'm using it to type this right now on my other system

Will it boot to a floppy???

Check Master/Slave settings, if there right, then maybe CS/CS will work better (CCable Select)

I mean't the ps2 port could be fried.

cant boot from floppy because i cant get into bios to change it, PS2 should be fine cuz i was using it a few weeks ago. if jumpers are not set properly would that prevent it from booting into BIOS?
