I can't guarantee it will start without a cpu. It might, but I wouldn't try. If you have a CPU, you could try it, but you would have to immediately shut it down, because the cpu will overheat, and could get damaged

-> Moved to CPUs, Motherboards and Memory

 

You will get error code of no CPU, but nothing more. Even if you would have wrong BIOS version for CPU you are using, it would go through couple more checks, but it will check for CPU first.
