You just need to hit the F1 button on the keyboard you have plugged in, it should let you configure the bios so you can move on to installing WindowsF1.

f1 does not seem to work sadly

Try plugging the keyboard into a USB 2.0 port, if you have one (black).

I used my other keyboard and it seemed to work thanks windows now in.

What do you mean by rear ports? Did you plug the monitor into the motherboard?

yes i have i only have one monitor for this pc, not sure if the red light on the graphics card is a good or bad thing

You should have the monitor plugged into the graphics card, not to the motherboard.

I did think that but when i do nothing happens i'm thinking the card is not in right

After you have the PC fully turned off (I mean: at the plug), make sure the power connector(s) are fully inserted (they can be a bit tricksy) and the card is happy in the slot.

Are you using HDMI or DP? DP can be problematic on some cards, nvidia have released a firmware update to fix some of the issues.

I think i may have the wrong leads trying to power it up

I used this supply and did not use that 2-1 adaptor

I'm thinking i should have used these as they would fit

from asus forum help

New definition: the LED behavior with a 16-pin adaptor cable (splitter) is:
Red = System shutdown/hibernate/sleep
No LED effect = System on, connector inserted properly

If your PSU has the new 16-pin cable, then connect that directly to the GPU - cleaner build and indicator always off.

yes changed power cable out for those other two and now i can even get geforce experience download
