So im building my first pc in school and the specs are
case- a box
motherboard - idk the name but its made by HP
cpu - AMD Phenom 2 X4
planned gpu - nVidia geforce 310
ram - 12 gigs of ddr3@1600mhz
Planned drives - wd blue 500 gb,seagate baracuda 500gb
so it wouldn't boot (no signs of life at all) and my computer teacher thought maybe if we took the gpu out it would boot and it did we got exited and got our first drive plugged in so we could install linux mint but it wouldn’t boot when we had the drive nor the gpu in
what are we doing wrong?
