[SOLVED] Removed GPU can't connect to monitor

[formulaic]

Hi,

I sold my GPU today but, evidently stupidly, thought that if I removed it the PC would just run as normal without it, just with less graphical oomph (I'm gonna buy a new GPU when the 3000 series or Big Navi come out).

Connected the HDMI to the motherboard but it shows the VGA debugging light. Does anyone know what I need to do to establish a connection between the HDMI port on the mobo and the monitor (there's no VGA port on the mobo)? I'm guessing maybe take the battery out of the mobo to reset it? Or do a bios flashback? But I'm just guessing based on what I saw doing a search for people with close to my problem.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

B450 Carbon pro mobo
3800X CPU

The 3800x doesn't have integrated graphics. You need a GPU.

Ah, OK. Did not know that. I guess I'll be on the laptop and PS4 until the new GPUs come out. Thanks.

You're welcome.
You can use a cheap GPU if you just want to get a display.

Thanks. I'll be good with just connecting my laptop to my monitor. Gotta buy a USB-c to HDMI convertor now though.
