E machine wont recognize the monitor or keyboard
If you motherboard hasintegrated video and using video card separately onboard won't work and dont plug in it, Please provide more detail if you can ex. motherboard manufacturer. keyboard and monitor has no problem, you may using USB inputs and they are desabled in BIOS, Was it warking earlier?
You've tried different monitors/keyboards with this computer? Is the monitor's connection right on the motherboard (i.e., it's probably next to the USB ports, etc.)? You can try using a different video card, just to make sure your monitor is working.
How do you know the keyboard isn't working if your monitor isn't working, either? The motherboard may just not be working at all if it won't let you toggle the caps lock/scroll lock keys. Usually if it boots but won't recognize the keyboard, the PC speaker will beep at you and the monitor will say something useful, like "Keyboard not recognized, replace and press F1 to continue."
A little more information would really help on this one.
With the limited info that you provided, it seems like the motherboard is not functioning. When you turn the computer on, does anything happen in the box?

I have tried different monitors and keyboards. I had the monitor plugged into the motherboard and then put in a video card and still no monitor. I know the keyboard is not working because when I turn on my PC and I hit num lock or scroll lock or caps lock the lights don't turn on. I know all both my monitor and keyboard work cause I am using them right now on my other machine.
You can hear that it turns on and the light in the front of the machine turns on also a light on the mother board too. The mouse also turns on (USB LED mouse).
