Have you tried using a different keyboard, You bios maybe set so that the keyboard will not work when the computer is booting up.

Yea i did same thing some times hitting the f1 works an i get to bios but keyboard is dead from there.. If the bios is set to that how can i acess it to change it
 
Boot your computer using your OS. I had the same problem, and all it took was for me to boot the PC on the current OS, and reinstall it, and it was fine after that

A BIOS checksum error almost always means that the batter on the motherboard is no good. Replace it and try again.
