Flickering screen on first start up

Hi,

Just completed ( or so I thought) my first build. I am at the point where I am to power up the PC for the first time and go into BIOS to configure. I turn on the PC and I get the ASUS main screen with the option "Press Delete for Setup". I press "delete" and then once as I tries to go to my bios my screen just flickers every one second from black to grey. Any thoughts?

Thanks In Advance

Hi Maleku,

Welcome to PC Mechanic !!

A couple of things come to mind: Did you plug a power lead to your video card (if necessary, and many newer cards do require one)? Try removing and reseating the video card. Double check and make sure the cables are tight and properly seated.

HTH
