MSI B350 Tomahawk

[migbucaro]

Basically, I am trying to use vga Because I have both a ps4 and pc. I hate having to go to the back of my pc pull out the HDMI cord and put it in my ps4 when I have a vga cord. I have looked everything up but I feel like Im staring into a wall not doing anything. PLEASE HELP

CPU Support List

Only the AMD A-series APUs and the 2xxxG series Ryzen CPUs have on-board graphics. If you're wanting to use the VGA output of the motherboard, you need to be using one of these CPUs. If you are using one of these CPUs and have a discrete graphics card installed, your on-board graphics may be disabled and you would need to check BIOS to see if there is a way to re-enable them or use the VGA output of the discrete card.

Well I have integrated graphics. I am running the 2400g Cpu with integrated vega 11 graphics. I do not know where to enable vga on the bios. I know how to get to the bios and everything but I do not know how to enable vga.

 

[Wolfshadw]

Unless there is a discrete graphics card installed, it is already enabled.

SO basically How would I use vga then. I hooked it up to my monitor and my pc. I switched to the vga input on my monitor and it says No signal

Motherboard Manual Download Page - Pgs. 42-44 for reference.

In BIOS --> Settings --> Advanced, look under Integrated Graphics Configuration.
Set the Primary Video Adapter to IGD.
Set the Integrated Graphics to FORCE.

This should NOT be necessary and the VGA port on the motherboard should be working as long as you do not have another AMD or NVidia graphics card installed in a PCI-Ex16 slot.

When I go into the integrated graphics configuration nothing is popping up.

Sorry. Completely missed it. What version BIOS are you running? You need to be running version V1.C.

See this video:

On here, it shows the BIOS revision on the first line of the Power On Self Test (POST) screen.

But what am I supposed to get out of that? No disrespect but I am not sure what you want me to do here. I am almost certain my bios is not corrupted.

 

[Wolfshadw]

Your BIOS isn't corrupted. It probably just needs to be updated to be completely compatible with your new CPU. The POST screen should tell you what version BIOS is currently installed. If it's something older that V1.C, then you may need to update it to get the on-board VGA graphics to work.

Okay, how do I access this post screen?

 

[Wolfshadw]

It comes up automatically when you power up the computer.

[migbucaro]

Okay. I went onto the b350 tomahawk website trying to find the update you spoke of and I dont know what to do. I couldnt find the post screen because when I turn on my pc arsenal Gaming comes up and nothing about a bios version pops up

Use the link I provided earlier to get your motherboard manual. That will tell you how to update the BIOS.
