Make sure that you have the keyboard plugged in before you turn on the machine. Start hitting DEL, after the beep, to see if you can get into the BIOS. Is the keyboard wireless or wired?

wired

Now I got into the bios what should i do to fix this usb situation cause if i exit the bios pressing enter on the black "disk boot failure, insert an operating system and press enter" still wont work so do i need to turn on somthing

Well, you got into the BIOS, so the keyboard is working. You have to have the OS disk in the drive to continue.

Well if you can find a keyboard on PS2 (The old technology, failproof) just use it to set it all up and when its all done use ur good new one

If you want a USB keyboard to work on things that require PS/2 keyboards, such as DOS/etc, turn on "USB Legacy Device Emulation" in BIOS.

Change your USB ports. This mobo will have both USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports. Connect to the 2.0 ports.
