Ok so, All try to take some pictures and upload em. Everthing is hooked up, I think. The mobo comes on, the CPU fan spins. The LEDS come on and it boots to the MOBO start up, has like a few options on the screen, keyboard commands, yet my keyboard dosent come on. Tried USB and PS2 connection nothing. Just Cyles from that screen, to no analog on my monitor, then back again. Heres my stuff.
MB: Gigabyte GA-EP43-DS3L P43
CPU: Core 2 Duo E7200
GFX: EVGA Gforce 9800GT
Case: Generic (with *free* 600W psu)
RAM: G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2

Listing your hardware spec will make it easier for people to help you

MB: Gigabyte GA-EP43-DS3L P43
CPU: Core 2 Duo E7200
GFX: EVGA Gforce 9800GT
Case: Generic (with *free* 600W psu)

Please advise what brand/model/spec of ram you are using as this may be relevant

If you disconnect everything so that you just have psu/mb/cpu/ram/gfx connected.. what happens then?

That is what I have connected. Just the core components. Thats all I have to connect at all. I manged to get the keyboard working and now it goes to my Gigabyte start up screen, gives me a few options, TAB for Post screen, few other options, yet only tab works. Sometimes when I restart it it goes to DMI Pool Data: Update Success then it says Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk.

If you don't have a hard disk connected or there's no bootable devices attached then 'Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk' is the normal startup message.

When you say the keyboards not working, do you mean you can't get into the BIOS or something else?
