I am building a computer and the only things i have installed into the case is the motherboard, cpu, 3 fans, psw and a heatsink. I have no memory, hard drive, cd player, or floppy drive.
I want to know is it ok to turn on the computer. So i can get to the bios and check to see if the motherboard reads the cpu.
could this ruin the motherboard if i do this.
Please reply
Nothing will happen. You need RAM and a video card to produce an image. No damage will be done, but you will not be able to access your bios. Stick some ram in it, and boot up.
and a video card
Technnically he could get in the BIOS with RAM and without a video card, but he would have to know the menu by heart. Therefore yes, get a video card before doing this

You could navigate throught the bios with a manual.. But you’d probably ending up OC’ing your CPU to hell and setting a password!
