I have a system with the following stats:

abit kn8 mb
athalon 64 3000 processor
3 gb ram (2 512, 2 1gb)
2 sata, 1 ide hdd
fdd
dvd rw drive
ultra xfinity 600w
x700 graphics card

Over christmas break, the psu failed and had to be rma, I alse purchaed 2 gb of ram.

I installed the psu and ram today; however, the system failed to boot.

The problem is that the system will display the abit logo, with the press del for bios. It will freeze there, and not accept keyboard commands.

On a restart, nothing will appear on the screen, and the monitor will shut off.

When I make a major change, like unplug a hdd, the logo screen will appear again, restarting the loop.
 
Pull out the new RAM and see if it boots. Do you have another PSU you could try?
 
Yanked new ram, does not work.

I do not have a new PSU, however, it was tested on a old system (7 years old), and worked. The old system has a 20 insted of 24 pin, and does not have a 4 pin.
 
try restting the CMOS with the jumpers on the board. is the keyboard usb or ps2? if it is USB then make sure you specify to ignore missing keyboard in the bios. this way if it doesnt find any keyboards at all, the computer will not come to a system halt and will proceed with booting up. hopefully by the time you boot into windows, windows will detect a usb peripherals plugged in and find its drivers.
 
tried restarting the cmos, no go.

The keyboard is ps2, hoewever, i am unable to enter the bios setup. When I push del, nothing happened.

The keyboard should work, as it was used before the psu/ram was changed.
