Computer Help

[Niff]

So for Christmas I got computer parts, I put the whole thing together, the PSU is in correctly, my dad actually did most of it and he was an engineer and know how to do this, the computer works, 2 beeps at start up, lights go on on the tower, the fans work, but the monitor, keyboard, and mouse all don't respond, my dad did some research I need the OS to recognize the monitor, keyboard, and mouse, but I need the BIOS to install the OS I need to install the BIOS, but to do that the computer needs to recognize the monitor, keyboard, and mouse, I was going the call the Video Card manufacturers tomorrow but I have no idea what is wrong, can ANYONE help?

The wires from the keyboard or mouse could be broken or loose, sometimes you cannot have the wire bending or curving too much.

All of the things are new, broken wires are probably not whats happening

the bios shoulnt need to be updated (or even installed)
as it should be within the mobo already


and no necessary special drivers should be needed for a mouse/kb/monitor.
windows and even the mobo should auto have generic ones for plug and play.

i suspect a bigger problem

For the monitor do you only have one or are you using multiple monitors?

Also, why would they include discs to install them if they didn't need to be installed?

(I'm bumping so bisjac notices)

what are the specs of your comp and is it a prebuilt?

Make sure all the wires from the PSU are plugged in to the mobo correctly. Also make sure the CPU and RAM is seated properly.

Parts, I don't know how to check specs right now

We literally push as hard as we could without the possibility of breaking it when we found out that the monitor wasn't receiving a signal, I will try to see if the OS will install though.

It's not the OS if the monitor isn't coming on. You should be able to access the bios and all that good stuff without a HDD at all.

Are the parts compatible with each other? Post specs.
