I am installing a new AGP4X Asus Motherboard. I read in the Upgrading For The Complete Idiot book that you should power up your motherboard before you install your memory and processor and make sure you hear beeps which would indicate that you don't have a short. But I tried this and got nothing (no beeps). The motherboard manual says nothing about doing this. I am considering installing the processor but don't want to fry it (if there is a short).
My question is, could the reason I don't hear a beep be because I don't have the processor installed? I rechecked all my jumpers and connections from the motherboard to the case and power supply and everything seems OK.
