Question Asus PRIME Z690-P no vga signal using onboard HDMI and DP

[DannyBoy68]

Hi folks,

Building my first PC after more than 10 years.

Specs
Asus PRIME Z690-P
Intel Core i7-12700F
2x16GB Kingston Fury Beast DDR5
Silverstone SST-SX700-LPT v1.1 SFX-L Power Supply 80 PLUS Platinum, modular - 700 Watt

I cannot get any VGA signal at all through the HDMI or DP ports using the onboard graphics. The system speaker beeps 1 long beep and then 3 short beeps indicating no VGA is plugged in.

I have tried different cables and tested with a 4K Samsung TV and a normal PC monitor and still nothing. I have reset the CMOS to default factory settings.

I have not plugged in any GPU, m.2 or hard drives at this stage until I can see the post on-screen. Everything powers up including the CPU fan.

This is my second new board with the same symptoms. I returned the first board as faulty and they sent me a brand new replacement board. Same symptoms. It makes me wonder if the manufacturer have disabled on-board graphics by default. I have also read on other posts plugging in a GPU did not fix their no-graphics issue. The onboard graphics should work.

Any ideas please?

Thank you

The i7-12700F comes without a graphics unit, you will have to get a dedicated GPU or a different processor with graphics unit like the I7-12700 (without F)

the motherboard only provides the connections, the CPU delivers the signal. 99% of all motherboards nowadays doesn´t have an onboard graphics chip anymore.

Hi helpstar

Well, you certainly live up to your username: help + star.

Thank you very much, I did not know that. I may as well be a newbie tbh as its been years since I built PC's.

My thanks again
