New build won't display BIOS at start up.

January 25, 2012 9:13:11 PM

Right now I'm putting together my new machine and I've already hit a road block. I'm putting it together outside of the case and when I hooked it up to my monitor and power on I get no display. I've installed the CPU, memory, heat sink, power supply and video card. All the fans turn on when I power it on but there is no video display. I tried both an HDMI and a DVI out. Also, the Dr. Debug LEDs on my mother board don't light up. Any ideas on what's going on?

I don't see mention of a HDD or SSD. The motherboard will not post without a drive attached, at least in my experience.
Try attaching a drive and see if that helps.
