What happens during the booting process of a computer?

Booting is what happens when a computer starts up. When you boot a computer, your processor looks in system ROM (the BIOS) for instructions and does them. They normally ‘wake up’ peripheral equipment and search for the boot device.

Why does my computer boot without a graphics card?

Then you have to move your monitor display cable to the port on your motherboard back panel, instead of the ports on the GPU. That’ll make you be able to boot, see what you’re doing, and hopefully, figure out what the heck is wrong with your graphics card. Maybe it’s a driver issue and reinstalling them will fix it.

What happens when there is no boot record?

Once a valid volume boot sector is found the bios has done its job and hands over control to the Operating System that completes the booting process. It will also conduct a few hardware tests. If no valid boot record is found the computer will display an error such as the following: Non-System Disk or disk error.

Suppose if it does not find first boot device, it will check for next boot device, if not third and so on. If BIOS do not find any boot device it will alert user stating “No boot device found”.
