Should graphics cards click when in place?

[Noctis92]

Like the ram. Since I'm on my first build and getting three beeps without ram and no beeps with ram, I'm thinking maybe the video card isn't correctly seated. Though, the fans on it are running fine, but it hasn't ever made a click when I've seated in the motherboard. Should it? I'm scared that if I push too hard ill break it somehow. Thanks.

Is it in the slot fairly evenly? Is the PCI-E latch locked?
It does take a fair amount of force

Yeah it's in there though it doesn't click. I'm at a loss right now, the mb beeps threa times without the ram. With the ram it doesn't beep at alll. Is there supposed to be a cord attached to the video card to the monitor. I've got VGA hooked up instead....

You need to the the GPU plugged into the monitor.
What are your full specs?

If the GPU has PCI-E power connectors, those need to be in too.

No, there is no audible click when inserting a PCIe graphics card. What card, MB do you have? And do you have the PCIe power cable attached (if required)?

I've got the build if you type in, "Austin Evans October 600" on YouTube. It's the first link that'll pop up. I don't understand what's wrong with it.
