Is this your operating system not detecting your keyboard or is it not recognized at the BIOS screen either?.. or both?

You may have problems if you are using a USB keyboard, in which case give it a go with a regular keyboard to start with and see how you get on.

Also in your bios you may find there is an option relating to the use of USB keyboards, in which case set it accordingly

the ps2 keyboard is not detected by the bios and as such I can't get into the bios to change any settings . The power supply I have replaced was subject to a mains power surge ,we think, strong enough to take out a surge protector could this have done any damage to the internal componets? Any Ideas?

well try another keyboard, if that doesn't work then the power surge killed the controller on the motherboard. Happened to me once, but mine was from not using a static strap, bought one after that too.
