Problem accounted after built

Hi, I spent ages building a PC but when starting it nothing comes on screen.

I was wondering if it's to do with the video graphic drivers (I haven't installed them yet, do I need to for showing the bios???

Also, I got the red led light for CPU at the start (that disappeared) but the VGA led light stays on throughout (I have the graphics card in the right slot I think).

Is it possible that the graphics card is dodged or damaged by static (I didn't have a strap)...

I hope not because I spent ages building it and it cost a lot

The slot the graphics card is in is PCIEX16_1

firstly second or two the led light isn't on but then it comes on (VGA led light)

dw, sorted.

I managed to sort it, it was because the power lead had come out of the graphics card.

Thanks anyway
