Fresh build install

[Stevie031203]

Hi. I have built my pc up but ive built it without a cd/DVD drive. I thought i could use it without one tbh. The mobo and gpu came with disks for drivers a take it. Do i need to use the disks or can i download them from the inet when i boot the pc up?
Thanks.

You can just go to the manufactures website and download the most up to date drivers for your hardware

Ok that i shall do then. When i connect my pc to my little 19" tv it doesnt show a picture. I am connecting it via hdmi. My tv only has hdmi. Do i need to get an actual monitor or can this be fixed?

It should just work... Though you might want to try different port (cpu graphics out of motheboard back panel vs integrated gfx, if you have it)... Have you checked your TV HDMI input with different signal source?

If TV has no HDMI input port and it's old as well, you need to get a dedicated PC monitor which has the type of input that's required without using adapters. That's doubtless why the TV is giving no picture.

Even if that old TV did work with your PC, the image quality would be terrible anyway. Buy a proper monitor.

The tv is quite new. It has an hdmi port only. I played my xbone through it. Someone told me i might need to install the gpu drivers before it will let me play through hdmi, is there truth to this?
Thanks for the help guy its much appreciated
