Quick question, New 1st time build

DanUre · 15 May 2012 at 00:56

Just a quick one, just put everything together, except for the CD drive, Mechanical HDD, also still waiting for windows 7...

Other than that everything is in and it turns on! However I thought i would see a Gigabyte splash screen, but instead it just get..

'Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key'

note i have an SSD hooked up

Is something wrong? or is this what i should see until everything is connected?

Cheers

Without the os installed, it will do that.

You can hit the delete key as it powers up to enter the bios and have a fiddle.

Also, these boards boot-up quickly, if your monitor wakes up slowly from standby then you may miss it.

As stated you need the OS for the HD to boot.
