No POST video from motherboard VGA (GA-A75-D3H)

[PeteC]

I have a brand new GA-A75-D3H motherboard with 8GB Corsair RAM and an AMD Athlon II X4 651K processor.

I do not get any display on the VGA monitor connected to the motherboard socket at boot.

I don't have a PCIe or PCI card fitted. I note in the manual that the BIOS default is PEG (i.e. PCIEx16 slot), but I don't have any PCIe graphics cards that I can fit. How can the motherboard be made to use the built-in graphics by default?

The monitor is working as I have just used it on a different PC, and is on as it states "No video input".

The processor fan is spinning.

At boot the system makes a single beep and does nothing else, which I beleive means it is working, I just can't see any display.

Hi there,

your problem is with the CPU as it doesn't have on-board video chip. For CPU's with integrated GPU check here: http://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer-hardware/all/cpus-amd/amd-a-series-apu-(s-fm1)-triple-quad-core

To get graphics from the motherboard you need one of the A series processors with integrated GPU. Or the other option would be a separate Graphics card.

Thanks - I didn't realise that
