definitely a motherboard problem, take it back to where you bought it from, it's under warranty right?

Is the keyboard your using plugged into a USB or PS2? Because as it's new and no drivers have been added then I don't think a USB keyboard would work because of no drivers. Have you tried installing Windows OS? What happens if you try that, then after that's installed you can install the USB then the keyboard will work. I never recommend using USB keyboards as you can have trouble like this. Does the hard drive red light come on in the case of the PC? If it doesn't then you may have the wrong connection connected from your PC case to the motherboard.I'll keep this question in case if it's not solved. Good luck.

Maybe dumb question, did you plug the keyboard into the purple PS/2? Are you getting a keyboard error? Should be a long beep and 3 short beeps.
