Issue with trying to use onboard graphics with an HP Pro 3130 SFF PC

[Mr Davo]

Hi Everyone,

I have a HP Pro 3130 SFF Computer which features both onboard graphics (VGA & DVI) as well as a PCI-E graphics card.

Whenever I take the PCI-E graphics card out of the computer with the intention of using the onboard VGA connection not only is nothing displayed on the screen but I also get BIOS beeping.

Furthermore if I look at the BIOS settings for 'Initial Video Display' there is only one option 'PCI-E', with no option for 'Onboard' available.

Here is a link to the specific components inside my system -

Is this an issue with the BIOS (in which case maybe I can upgrade!) or do I need a different processor to utilize the onboard graphics connections?

Any help here will be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Davo

Hi there

The i5-750 CPU that you have in your system does not have integrated graphics, hence your issue.
See chip specs here:
