First build, not very technically knowledgable, and am amazed that I got this rig to run!
So I think I know what the problem is but it involves me hooking some things up to the motherboard if I am right. Basically, my computer runs and I can get into BIOS, but there are no options on my ASUS MB EZ MODE BIOS. I decided to try a blank USB flash drive, and voila, two options for a USB device and a "UEFI" version of the USB show up (which Im not 100% of why there are 2 versions, guess I gotta research that some). Note: I tried the advanced settings, tried switching from AHCI to IDE and RAID, tried booting from legacy OPROM (which I assume is the legacy plug plugged into optical drive), attempted to put a password in in order to disable secure boot, but there was no real option to turn secure boot off, possible I overlooked it and will try again. None of these worked and are solutions that other people have used with my same problem.
Anyways, during the build, cable wise, I hooked fans, cpu, gpu, 24pin, all to the motherboard. However, I hooked the optical drive and the hard drive up straight from the power supply. My optical drive has power and opens, but does not show up as an option to boot up on BIOS.
Im pretty sure I gotta hook the HDD and Optical drive up to the motherboard as well, but just wanted to confirm. This is very sad as well, and I looked in the manual, but I cannot figure out where to put the little speaker beeper in my mobo either! Im sure Id be getting some beep errors right now but with that not on I cannot hear them. My HD audio plug from the case is hooked up though, but yeah, two different things I guess.
Please help my poor soul, and may the computer gods have mercy on me.
