I have a question, if I turn on my computer without a graphics card (and my mobo doesn't have integrated graphics) what will I be able to do. Will I be able to run Bios?

You wont be able to see anything, and you will get a beep error saying no display device.... How on earth can you get into the bios without a screen mate? Seriously?
Have you made sure the Flux Capacitor is getting enough power?
Needs to be exactly 1.21 Gigawatts.
You would need to put one in m8. Grab a cheap one of a well known auction site. hint hint. ! ! !
So tempted to quote this in my sig.
I understand I won't be able to SEE anything, but I was wondering if I could run on BIOS blindly, because I have an identical computer I can use as a guide.
I can see what you're trying to do, but no, it'll just beep at you endlessly to warn you that no graphics card is installed (imo). :(
Okay, thanks for answering and being the only one who understood the question.
Jigawatts :)
But yes, as 0iD says it will more than likely just beep at you.
However, it depends whether the BIOS is set to halt on errors...
If you have an identical computer available, can you not just take it offline for 2 hours or so, plonk the GFX card in the new one and then alter BIOS settings, or just wait for your GFX card but that's the boring way :D
I think it's more to do with soft and hard G's, also the original term Giga was always pronounced as Jiga.
Edit: Taking this too off topic, sorry OP!
agreed, use the gfx card from the identical computer.
