[SOLVED] New system won't boot - AMD Ryzen 7 3700X with Asus Prime B450M-A II

[timboalogo]

Hi,

I assembled the above system yesterday and cannot get it to boot to the BIOS. From what I've read, the board and CPU are supposed to be compatible.

I have lights on the board, CPU fan a-spinning, keyboard light on but the monitor says NO SIGNAL. It's a 400W power supply ...

I've reseated the memory (G.SKILL RipjawsV Series 16GB(2x8GB)), hard drive and all cables that plug into the board.

Could I have bought something incompatible, or do you think I could have missed something simple?

Thanks for your time,
Timbo

Do you have a graphics card? The 3700X CPU has no integrated graphics. If you have a monitor connected to the motherboard, it won't work.

Shoot, I thought there were integrated graphics!

Thanks, you've solved it!

Only AMD CPUs that end in "G" have integrated graphics.

How do I mark this thread as solved? Bought a cheap card and the rest of my work was excellent!

Not bad for a 63 year old.
