VGA not detected on a new computer

[ido.feldman88]

I'm trying to build a new computer. Everything seems to be connected right. But when I plug it in, I hear first one short beep (probably meaning that BIOS is loaded) and after few seconds one long and three short beeps which according to the manual means that VGA is not detected. Tried another cable and another monitor. How can I narrow this problem?
The motherboard is ASUS A320, the monitor is connected via VGA cable (but tried HDMI as well).
Thanks in advance.

May sound silly, but if you have a dedicated graphics card make sure it's plugged into the GPU and not the motherboard.

No, I haven't any dedicated graphics card. I' trying to plug in the monitor to the motherboard.

What CPU do you have? The video outputs will only work if you have an APU.

I have an AMD ATHLON X4. It is an APU.

Oh no it isn't (pantomime season - lol).

X4 doesn't have a graphics processor, hence your problem.

You need to install a graphics card.

On the box it says it is.

"AMD Athlon Processing Unit
(APU) ..." (From the box)

Believe me, the X4 series CPUs do not have a graphics processor.

You want to argue, do it with someone else.

Bye.

"AMD Athlon X4 is a series of budget AMD microprocessors for personal computers. Those processors are originally APUs without iGPUs."

That "APU" may just be an abrieviation, as this is what APU actually means:
