[SOLVED] Do I need a Video Card?

[singa_malai]

First time I am building a pc, I have followed the instructions and put all the parts together. When I turn on the system, I am hearing 5 beeps after couple of seconds, no display in my monitor. I see heartbeat light on the mobo, all 3 case fans and cpu fan is running. I have connected monitor to mobo hdmi connection. I have also connected a usb keyboard.
Do I need to have a video card to see the display?

Please let me know.

Here is my parts details:
ASRock X470 Master SLI/ac mobo
AMD Ryzen 7 2700x cpu (PINNACLE RIDGE)
AMD Wraith Prism Cooler
Corsair RM750x PSU
AData XPG 2X8GB (AD4U300038G16-DS10)
WD Red 4TB NAS Drive (WD40EFRX)
DIY Zondda-O ATX Case

The Ryzen 2700x doesn't have built-in graphics. You HAVE to have a video card.

Thank you kanewolf for the quick reply. do we hear 5 beeps if there is no video card installed on the mobo?

Yes, 5 beeps would normally indicated a failed or no video card present (but not always). When you get a modern motherboard, they are no longer produce a graphics solution on the motherboard (like they used to) instead its on SOME processors, like the Ryzen 2400G (for example).
