Ive just put together my new system:
Elitegroup 755-A2 MB
Ge force 5500 fx 256MB Video card
Western digital 250GB HD
unfortunately after the initial boot I see nothing on the screen. I
have tried 128 and 64 MB video cards, a different monitor, and of
course unplug and replug. The ATX12v is IN so I know its not that.
However I have notice that the board did not come with onboard video,
SO...
1. Is it that the board cannot produce the graphics needed to display
the BIOS without first having installed the drivers?
2. If it is this how do I install the drivers without seeing what Im
doing?
3. Could I possibly hook the hard drive up to a seperate computer and
load the drivers and OS that way and then reinstall and reboot?
I have no idea what is preventing the motherboard from displaying the
initial BIOS setup, any ideas???
