Hey there. First time builder here. Just finished my new desktop. My problem is that I don't have a monitor so I tried to use my LED tv to see if it was booting. I heard the booting sound (the single beep) but there was no display. I did, however, notice that the tv brightened up after I heard the beep. So is everything okay??? I don't want to buy a monitor just to find out that it doesn't boot.

PS: I used the VGA ports of the tv and desktop.

Not yet. I'll try it when I get home. Btw, I thought hearing a single beep at system boot means that everything on the mobo is fine??

I just found out that my TV didn't automatically connect to my desktop. It needed an OS to connect. Bummer.

I see. Well at least I know all the traces are working and my mobo is fine. I guess I'll have to check my RAM sticks and also try to remove my video card?? Because I think my mobo has integrated gpu.
