Boot TS - No Video BIOS Message, No Other Feedback

Explanation: There are no error messages or other indications of problems but the video BIOS message never appeared on the screen.

Diagnosis: The video BIOS message should appear on the screen first of all unless there is an error that shows up early in the power-on self-test, so you probably just missed it due to the monitor taking too long to activate. Also, some older PCs don't display a video BIOS message.

Recommendation: If the system continues booting beyond this point, continue here, assuming that the BIOS message appeared.
