Hello, I've bought some components to build a new pc (Newegg). I bought a MSI A78M-E35,. I tried testing the mobo with just the PS and RAM (GSKIll 4x2GB), all the fans would turn on, but i dont get any video output. I have a AMD X4 760K CPU which requires a GPU, but I dont get it until next week. I don't know if i need it to get into BIOS. I have a CORSAIR (CX430). I've read that some people got this mobo DOA so if it is, I need to get a replacement.
