Hi,
I just build my first PC and i installed my HDD into it and connected it with sata cables.
All my other components are connected with psu and stuff too.

But i wanted to do a test boot to see if everything runs and when i turned it on i heard my HDD beeping and my screen just showed a blinking - instead of like the other start up stuff.

There is nothing on my HDD yet and i do not have a OS installed.

Someone please help me with what this is and what i can do against it, im pretty scared right now.

Specs:CPU: AMD FX-6300 6 Core 3.5 GHz
GPU: Asus GTX 760 DC2OC- 2GB DDR5
HDD: Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003
PSU: Cooler Master B600
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz 
MBO: Asus M5A78L-M LX3
CASE: Antec New Solution VSK-4000E
FAN: Artic Cooling ARTIC F12 120MM fan
 
Hi

I updated previous post to FAQ
If you hit del or what ever key gets into bios / Uefi bios during start up does any thing appear on screen?

If the system is not booting up to say insert boot disk or no operating system found you can't proceed any further until problem solved

Is there a drive in the optical drive? If so take it out, it also might be getting stuck on one of your USB peripherals when it searches through the list of bootable devices and gets to the USB option.

Is there a reason you can't just install windows on it? Heck even linux would work for testing if this is an actual problem or not.
