Building Computer

Expand Post »
Hey I'm currently building a computer right now and I put everything together execpt the video card. When I turn my computer on from the power supply the floppy drive light just turns on and the fan on the power supply runs. Is this how it is suppose to react without a video? BTW: The reason why I turned it on without a video card is because I was just wondering if it would start up properly. Thanks

Re: Building Computer

Yeah. Shouldn't be any beeps or anything notable. Just silence for the most part. Some boards will beep at you though.
