I finally got around to building my Asus Rampage IV Black Edition computer. After numerous setbacks (a failed PSU, bought the wrong memory, etc) I finally got it powered up. But then I get to the splash screen where it says to hit F2 or delete to setup bios. The keyboard lights up but hitting keys doesn't do anything. I've flashed the bios, taken it apart and rebuilt it to no avail. Now I'm at a loss as to what to do next.

I've tried two usb keyboards ( both being somewhat old). both work in other computers.

please help.

@tradesman1 Not yet. I bought one and I'm waiting for it to ship. I was hoping to be proactive instead of patient.

@ImMzrly There is a CMOS reset button on the motherboard which I did try. It didn't help.
