Try resetting the CMOS: Clear CMOS - 3 Ways to Clear the CMOS - Reset BIOS

Next remove all but 2gb of RAM to try install.

Unplug all other HD's and peripherals. Use PS2 keyboard and mouse.

Try writing the installer to flash stick by extracting ISO with ImgBurn, write to flash stick using this tool with Win7 in dropdown menu: Universal USB Installer – Easy as 1 2 3 | USB Pen Drive Linux

Try plugging in your old Win7 HD, run Paragon Adaptive Restore CD on it to "Start Windows on New Hardware". PAR CD will autostart.

Follow the steps given earlier to autostart to wipe your HD with PW CD to force the installer to autostart.

If you can access the BIOS and change settings, that indicates to me that there is nothing wrong with the keyboard. There is something else going on. Is your DVD drive detected in the BIOS correctly? Have you got another DVD drive to try? If you can I would swap the data cable to that drive. Is the DVD drive SATA or IDE? Check your install media for scratches, smudges, fingerprints etc. If you have one of those optical drive cleaning DVDs I would use it.

My USB keyboard gets read after my first black screen

The DVD drive is fine i took it out of my mates PC after i fixed his pc for him. It gets picked up as a pioneer dvd etc etc so i know its there. The disc is clean and its connected through 2 sata cables 1 black and 1 multicoloured.

If your keyboard is able to get you into the BIOS setup screen its working OK. The BIOS is the very first thing to load. Booting from the DVD drive is a BIOS function and has nothing to do with any thing else. Do you get a "Press any Key to boot from CD" or similar message? Is the Windows 7 DVD an original disk or a copy? Is it an upgrade version or a full version?

What is some of your other hardware ? OnBoard video or what Video card do you have ? Do you have any other USB ext devices attached during all you attempts ? Extra monitors or TVs ?

 

[gregrocker]

If you don' t get the prompt to "Press Any Key to Boot DVD" then DVD is either not bootable or BIOS is not set to boot DVD correctly. Try using the one-time BIOS Boot Menu key to trigger DVD drive:
Asus - F8
HP/Compaq - Esc
Sony - F2
Acer - F12
Gateway - F10
eMachnes - F10
Toshiba - F12
Dell - F12
IBM/Lenovo - the blue Thinkvantage button

Nothing, motherboard, graphics card, ram, psupply, dvd drive and hdrive.

Your black screen with the blinking curser in your first few posts is usually then a problem with the video card or video card drivers.

As a test unplug your hard drives SATA connector and try booting from the DVD again. If my hunch is correct you will get a No operating system found, please insert system disk, or similar message. I think the flashing cursor is because your system is skipping by the DVD and still trying to boot off of the hard drive. When you used this DVD on your other systems did you do a clean install or did you run the install from the previous version of windows? It might be a good idea to put that DVD in one of your other PC's and verify it is in fact bootable. If some one knows of a good utility to do that would they please post it, I have to admit thats one thing I'm not up to speed on.

Use the one for your make/model, or look for the correct key on the first boot screen. Now is also the time to fill in your System Specs in the bottom left corner of post.

If you don't get the prompt to Press Any Key then I'd confirm the ISO integrity and burn another using ImgBurn at 4x speed, or write the ISO to flash stick to try install using this handy tool with Win7 in the dropdown: Universal USB Installer – Easy as 1 2 3 | USB Pen Drive Linux
