OK, I have never built a PC, so please bare with me. I have an ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 motherboard, an AMD FX 6300 processor, and an evga 600 b power supply. I believe thats where my problem lies, but if your curious, i also have 2 8 gig sticks of kingston ram and a 2.0tb hard drive (cant remember manufacturer). i attached a nothing special graphics card for now, since the motherboard has no graphics.
Everything went well when building. no surpises, no setbacks. first time I powered on, it seemed to go ok. the case lit up, the fans (included the one on the cpu) turned on. however, i didnt get anything on the screen. Also, I cannot open the cd drive I attached.
At first I thought that there was something wrong with my sata connections because of the cd drive, but if my harddrive wasnt detected, the pc would beep at me, no? I got no beeps. So, what do I have to do to see something on my screen? I didnt even see a bios boot.
any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
