Didn't mean to start a new thread, but I guess that's what happened. Dealing with a new build computer, just finished putting it all together. It powers up, the fans and lights go on, there is one short beep, the monitor screen goes on, then briefly goes blank, then all we see is "no signal." The ASUS manual says "one short beep" means: "VGA detected, quick boot set to disabled, no keyboard detected."
Keyboard power light is on and hooked up to panel via USB. Monitor is connected to VGA via D-sub cable and an HDMI cable.
I have checked the RAM and it is sitting properly in the correct slots. All of the cables seem to be properly hooked up. What else could I do? (I've never built a computer before.)
The CPU is an Intel i3. There is 8 G of RAM on 2 4G Gskill sniper cards. There is a WD 1T hard drive and a Geforce GTX 660 card.

It turned out that we needed to connect the monitor with a DVI cable instead of an HDMI. The HDMI wasn't doing anything. So now it's up and running--BUT my son started in with the BIOS and neglected to set the disk drive priority. He doesn't have an optical drive, is running everything from the hard drive. So now he's stuck with the message "reboot and insert proper boot media"--but we don't know how to get back to the original BIOS screen to reset the drive priority. Do we have to reset the CMOS?

We reset the CMOS. I hope that will work.
Two more questions: if he installs Windows from an external optical disc drive, then disconnects the optical disc, will Windows be installed automatically on the hard drive? And if so, does he have to reset the BIOS again, so that it boots from the hard drive?
