So I got my new GPU today, The GTX 970 and installed it, ALL I done was take out my old one, Install my new one and Clean my CPU cooler.

Oh and move my HDD down one slot so I could fit my GPU in, But now when I power up it stays on the BIOS screen for a minute then goes black, I can't access the bios or anything because the keyboard keys won't work and I have tried all usb slots

BIOS construct a little database of local hardware (DMI pool), that it hands off to the OS via the SMBIOS interface sometimes this gets corrupted and
you have to force the reconstruction of the info.
- in BIOS you can clear configuration data, forces a rebuild of info
- you can update BIOS to do the rebuild (good option, people rarely update the BIOS anyway)
- you can toggle a BIOS hardware setting (turn something off then back on, to force a rebuild of info (sometimes works)
- you can move a hardware device from one slot to another slot and power on your system to force a database rebuild.

you might also check to see if video is going out a extra video connector that you might have on your machine if it has a built in video.

I can't access the BIOS because my keyboard shortcuts to it don't work for some reason, I also meant to say I had tried moving a component
