im building a computer for my wife and the motherboard gives me a continuous boot device light and it doesn't recognize the keyboard.I'm getting the basic VGA settings to give me the splash screen on the monitor, and it says hit delete button to enter BIOS.
I get one short beep from computer and the red led light from the Boot Device stays lit. Keyboard is powered up by lighting the numlock light, but no other input is accepted from keyboard.

this is my second mobo from asus because the first one had hardware problems and im getting kind of annoyed with this. any help eould be great.
thanks
