More Information

I just completed my first full build, everything seems good, it boots up, single healthy beep, motherboard screen appears on my monitor, but my keyboard isn't acknowledged so I can't go any further, can't get in to the BIOS, can't load an OS, etc. Stuck at square one. I've tried another keyboard, different manufacturer, I've tried USB inputs instead of PS/2. No luck. I'm thinking I've got to RMA unless someone out there can help me. Is there something I've overlooked?
Here's the build highlights:
Intel E6750
Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R motherboard
2 gigs Crucial Ballistix Tracer 800s
EVGA 8800 GTS 320mb
Seagate 500G HDD

Everything boots up fine, the lights on the Tracers are funky, I'm loving it, just wish I could run with it, load up some games. Thanks in advance for any advice.
