Computer stuck at boot?

I'm running Windows Vista and always when I start it up it tells me that it cant find floppy drive and press F1 to pass or F2 to go to set up I've know about this all and well just too lazy to go fix it but something else happened, Now it says Keyboard failure as well at the boot screen and it wants me to press F1 or F2 but I of course cant press any of that is it just my keyboard or something else screwed.

    hi there!

    check all your wire connections. check that your keyboard is orrectly connected to the back of the PC (purple connector), and if this does not solve the keyboard problem, then try a second one - that you know works. if this is not fixing the problem with the keyboard, you will have to change the motherboard.

    For the floppy drive, if you have actually got a drive attached to the computer, you will have to check the cables inside the PC. make sure that you turn the computer OFF first, and always touch the side of the case. I all cables are connected, you will need to replace either the floppy drive, cables or motherboard.

    If you are not comfortable with this, take it to your local PC repair center, but no PC WORLD! They will charge excess of £200 just for looking, and more for the parts and more for labour!

    throw your keyboard and replace it.

    secondly press del after u startup and go to cmos setup and change the boot sequence. also disable the floppy drive.
