here is the deal,
Just finished building a new PC. 1.2GHz thunderbird socket A, a K7VZA mother board, 128MB SDRAM 133MHz nec. Upon first boot I get the screen that allows me to go into the BIOS, but when I attempt to hit the delete key it is like there no power to the key board. I have switched out key boards and re-booted several times with no luck. Also, the floppy disk light stays lit the whole time? any sugestions?

thanks,
tony

Floppy drive cable is probably reversed...as to the keyboard are you sure that it is plugged into the correct location and not the spot for the mouse. Or is it a USB keyboard? If it is you may have to get into the BIOS with a ps/2 keyboard because some MOBO come with the USB disabled...
