I can't get my computer to boot. Occasionally, it will give me a media test failure/keyboard error (stating that one isn't connected, even though one is), however the keyboard works (pressing F10 goes to setup, arrow/enter/esc keys work in setup).

If I don't hit any keys, it starts to boot, then it just stops. I've seen this thing boot up before, so I know it works.

Any suggestions?

I've tried using a different keyboard, same results

Time to break it down to a base config. One processor, one memory dimm, no floppy, no CD/DVD, no USB devices, etc. If that doesn't work try a different dimm (assuming you have multiples.) If it's still a no go then you need a new MoBo or processor (unlikely.)

thanks. i ended up getting a system32/config error. I just took it back to the seller to see what he could do.
