Very Frustrated. Gigabyte x58a-ud3r rev 1.0 issues

ahh yeah sorry,you can flash to the last small bios file though,you might need to try installing windows with hdd on intel sata2 port if you originally tried on sata3?

id try with the 1tb hdd the others might be problematic if they are throwing up errors ect

It is on the sata 2 and should I try using F6 bios instead of the F6b that I already have installed? Something odd is happening though now cause I cant even get into the bios anymore, my keyboard which is ps2 has stopped working. Going to try and locate another keyboard but really odd for it to just stop working.

Tried pressing the clear cmos button and it didnt seem to do anything, next step is going to be to take the cmos battery out and see if tha thelps it over night.

I cant get to @Bios, because I dont have an operating system installed on this hard drive, thats what I want to do but not at that step yet :(. Really weird problem now happening with the keyboard. Keep trying to reset the cmos and hopefully it will pick up my keyboard again. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.
