[SOLVED] Does a PC need a dedicated gpu to boot?

[frince707]

Hi,

So I completed my pc building recently and my specs are...

Ryzen 5 1600
Asrock b450m pro4
Gskill ripjaws v 8 GB x2 ddr4
240 GB ssdx 1
1 TB hdd x 1, 320 GB hdd x 1
Thermaltake smart RGB 600w

I haven't bought a GPU yet due to budgets concerns. When I started up my PC all fans are spinning there was no post beep sounds, no hdd activity and no display. Is it normal behaviour? Should I be worried bcoz there wasnt any kind of post beep sounds?

Thanks for any help & replies.

Your CPU does need a dGPU.

AMD Ryzen CPUs with a "G" suffix have integrated graphics, and don't need a dGPU.
All consumer-tier Intel CPUs except ones with a "F" suffix have integrated graphics.

Integrated graphics or a GPU is needed for a display to work and your system has none.
That's normal.
You could get a very cheap graphics card in the mean time.

No iGPU so no display output. Also, most all modern motherboards do not come with the "beep" speaker anymore.
