So I started my computer up for the first time, all fans running, nothing blew up in my face (yay). However, I'm having issues. The first time I had issues with the device LED staying red. I also had a long beep followed by 3 short beeps (supposedly a no vga detected) . So I shut my computer down and restarted it and and it worked, nothing stayed red and only 1 short beep at the beginning which I don't think means anything bad. However, the screen stayed black (well, said no signal then went black). Now, it could be due to a bad screen connection (won't stay in), but I'm not sure, I managed to hold the connection so that it stops saying no signal.
To me it seems like the motherboard is saying "there is nothing wrong here" but I don't see anything so obviously info isn't being sent somewhere. Does the first POST take longer than I thought or something?
At the same time, my ASUS board has a bios flashback option where I can flash the bios from a USB without having anything turned on..should I do that or try powering on first?
