Hi, I am trying to assemble a new system. I have purchased an Asus Motherboard P5QC with Intel Core 2 Duo E8400. I have made all the connections but I seem to have multiple problems. Firstly the keyboard is not responding. It does not show an error at bootup but it just doesnt resping. Example, when I get the OS installation screen at bootup, the Keyboard doesnt respond so I cant do anything. Secondly, during startup it says no Hard Disk found. What can be the problem? I have assembled a few systems in the past so I know what I am doing but this problem just left me confused. Thanks in Advance...
