I recently upgraded to a Asrock Steel Legend GPU. I realized I started receiving the "no vga detected" warning, but I still had video even with the white light.

I am running a:

Mobo: Asus X570-Pro WiFi
RAM: 16GB

CPU: Ryzen 5600X am4,
GPU: Asrock Steel Legend GPU
Monitor: LG 32in 4k display 60hz max.

I have been using this board for a bit less than two years.
I started troubleshooting and what I got out of all of this is the displayport use. If I used the display port and had the monitor off, I would get the "no vga detected" warning.

If I turned the monitor on or left it in standby, I would not receive the warning. So, then I tried an HDMI cable and turned off the monitor then restarted the computer with monitor off and it booted with no warning. I repeated this hdmi test several times. I am now waiting on a new DP cable to see if there is a signal pin missing somewhere in my older cables.

Try to Update your motherboard bios to the latest, and after that install the latest chipset driver from amd, and reboot.

Chipset Driver Link (it should be version 5.08 by the time im writing this).

I was hopeful but the AMD chipset drivers did not work. It did not happen with my previous rx580 from Sapphire Nitro. But it's not worst that can happen.

The current gpu is an Asrock steel legend 7800xt oc. I sent them a tech message and waiting for a reply.

try this step by step in order (read till end):
  • Disconnect from internet
  • Uninstall every gpu driver using DDU (clean and do not restart, also tick all option in Nvidia and AMD option in the ddu settings (except the save/store settings) before doing so).
  • Uninstall all the processors (is a must, should be 16 on yours since it's 12 threads, also when it asks for restart, click on no and keep uninstalling all processors) on device manager like this:

  • Uninstall AMD Chipset Software in control panel (if there is none, skip it.)

  • reboot the PC to bios, disable AMD fTPM and secure boot (if enabled by default), save and exit, go to bios again, flash the bios to the latest (again), go to bios after finished updating, then load default or optimized settings, enable fastest xmp profile and PBO, then save and exit. Dont forget if you need secure boot for win 11, go to secure boot, install keys, and you're good to go (better do it after everything in the bios setted up)

    Optional: disable CSM, enable Above 4G Decoding and Resizable bar option (these 2 options wont be available unless CSM is disabled).

  • if successful, boot up to windows and install again the latest Chipset driver (should be ver 5.08.xx as the time i write this), then reboot.

  • Install this radeon driver (this latest with AFMF), reboot, and then connect to internet.

    *do this all offline until reboot after installing chipset driver, also you may reboot to bios after all of this to set the XMP (and previous settings you did). Download needed files (highlighted word) before doing step 1, do the step by orders.

  • Run cmd as admin, then do chkdsk /x /f /r, after that do sfc /scannow

  • And check windows update if there is any and install them (except optional update).

  • Make sure the psu connected to the gpu is 1 pcie cable per 1 slot (use main cable, not the branches/split) like this:
