I have sorted it. Many thanks to everyone for your help.

It was the keyboard. I had a look at the system event log (I only found out it was there when I typed the above) and the keyboard was mentioned a couple of times so I changed it and everything now works!

Thanks again.

Does your keyboard have a USB connection? If so, there are some motherboards that don't respond to them initially. I always keep an spare PS2 keyboard and mouse handy if a system doesn't respond to my USB inputting devices. On motherboards with PS2 inputs I find they always work and then once the system has loaded then I check in the BIOS and make sure that USB inputting devices are enabled. Once the computer is up and running then I use the USB keyboard and mouse and the drivers load automatically.
