Need help

[Trucker_Hamm]

I'm having an issue with my first build. My specs are the following. Asus prime b450m-a, ryzen 7 2700x, gigabyte gtx 1060, 1tb ssd, 1tb hdd. I dont have ram yet but i went to do a test start and noticed the graphics card was spinning for a brief second then stop and had no display. Everything was hooked up except for not having ram yet. Any ideas on this issue? The graphics card was given to me by a coworker who claimed it works.

What's your PSU like? Other than your card being dead a insufficient PSU is the only thing that comes to my mind.

If you don't have ram, you won't be able to post into the bios. The most you would be able is to hear the beeps from your motherboard if it has it a speaker.

Oh, I didn't see that you had no ram. A bunch of people pointed out yeah, you need ram for any computer to work haha

So no ram would be why i have no post and the gpu to not keep spinning? Like i said im new to this.

Yeah, without ram your computer turns on, attempts to boot, then turns off instantly. Hence sending power to the gpu for a short amount of time making the fans come on, then having to turn off because of no ram, so the fans stop spinning. Throw some ram in the bad boy and you should be good to go. 1060's are known to be pretty reliable cards. If the fans are spinning I am sure it is working.
