So i lately have built my own Gaming pc. I finished today and only tomorrow am i receiving my ram. So i am like ok lets turn on the pc and see of the fans turn on when i put the PSU in the socket. Strangely enough nothing happens in the pc. I only get one light on my GPU and my peripherals did light up (Mouse, keyboard). I am not sure if this is ok. Tis is the first time i am building my pc and i just want to check because it seems slightly weird. What shall i do? Wait for my RAM sticks or is this not supposed to happen. Does a Motherboard Work with no RAM?
No RAM no working Motherboard?

Ok Thanks For The Help Btw One More Question, I don't have ram so the motherboard shouldn't function however even without ram the Graphics card Seemed To have Power because There Was a small white light. Is this an internal battery in the Graphics Card or is it normal that the GP always gets power even without ram. And anyway i shall wait until i have all parts and try this out.
So you are saying with all parts the CPU fan and all fans will spin?

Both your motherboard and PSU and GPU have capacitors that hold a charge for a short time after you turn the PC off.
The GPU light turning red is just telling you that it doesn't have enough power only from the PCIe bus on the card.
