Build is as follows
I've tried with both sticks of RAM / and each one of them in turn only, build outside case, differend cables, monitors and all the usual troubleshooting advice but always the same outcome
I have no graphics card and don't even have access to an old one to test. I had ASSUMED that the build would be OK without one what with integrated graphics on the Haswell.:4-dontkno
However, the mobo manual suggests that the default display is set to use the PCI e slot and you have change this to use the onboard graphics in the BIOS. I obviously can't do this if I can't see the BIOS!
Surely if theres nothing in the PCI e slot the mobo would automatically detect the absence of one and use the onboard graphics instead????? However it seems that you have to manually change it??
Can this really be the case or have I just got a dud mobo? I don't want to have to buy a GPU to find this out?
Many thanks...
