X470 prime pro

[phillipdowning14]

Hi I’m having issues with video on my mobo. I do have a gpu connected. But still no video. I just bought the mobo today and installed my gtx dual 1060 6gb. My card worked w my B350 pc mate board but it won’t work w my x470 prime pro. Wat am I doin wrong ?

If you just moved everything over from the previous motherboard, there are a few possibilities. For example, there may be a CPU OR memory compatibility issue. The motherboard BIOS may need to be updated.

Or it may be as simple as a loose cable connection. Another possibility is that the RAM isn't fully seated. The same applies to the graphics card.

Here are a couple of checklists on this problem.

It worked with my B350 pc mate. Idk y the card won’t work now. I can’t even do a bios update. W/o video

I can’t do a bios use date without video. It’s the only card I have.

 

[phillipdowning14]

Yes I moved it over. But I was using the B350 pc mate and a Ryzen 5 1600. Now I have a Asus prime x470 pro with a Ryzen 7 2700x

I'm sorry this was the second question like this that I answered in a row.

You can remove the graphics card, and plug the monitor into the motherboard video outputs. Then reboot the PC.

After the monitor is working (assuming that it does work). You can go into the BIOS and force the graphics from Auto to Integrated. That will allow you to plug in the graphics card while troubleshooting.

Please list the current component list.

 

[phillipdowning14]

I don’t think I can. I have a Ryzen 7 2700x

 

[phillipdowning14]

Asus x470 prime pro. Ryzen 7 2700x. Asus GTX dual 1060 6gb.

 

[terry4536]

You are correct. I read that the second generation processors were to have the "advanced Radeon™ Vega graphics built-in". But I just checked the R7-2700x and they don't.

That is going to significantly affect your troubleshooting. Do you have another graphics card that you can borrow? You just need it long enough to verify that the motherboard works.

 

[phillipdowning14]

No I do not and idk of anybody who has one. Crap

 

[terry4536]

In the mean time reseat the graphics card and memory. Check the power connections at both ends for the motherboard 24 pin, CPU 8-pin, graphics card PCIE (plus the SATA power and data).

I just bought the mobo today and installed my gtx dual 1060 6gb.

Try installing just one graphics card if you mean dual GTX 1060's.

 

[phillipdowning14]

I didn’t plug in any SATA or data. Just wanted to see if I could get into bios first. But i can’t. It’ll start up fine. Just no video.

 

[phillipdowning14]

Seems like a Newegg return for me I guess. Damn I really wanted the 2700x and this mobo

 

[phillipdowning14]

I’ve triple checked every single plug and unplugged and replugged and nothing

Assemble everything. The motherboard will boot with just the motherboard, RAM, CPU, and power supply. But without a graphics card, drive, and Windows you will not see anything on the monitor (since you can't plug it into the motherboard).

 

[phillipdowning14]

I don’t quite understand lol. Sounds stupid. But I don’t.

 

[terry4536]

With no monitor, you can boot up a system with the minimum motherboard, RAM, CPU, and power supply. If you have a case speaker or a LED diagnostic display, it will either pass POST or it will not. That will be displayed on the LED or by a beep on the speaker.

Since a discreet graphics card is required on this system, you can't plug the monitor into the motherboard. So the graphics card has to be installed before the monitor can be used.

 

[terry4536]

Look into your motherboard manual for specific installation instructions.

 

[phillipdowning14]

Ok I’ll read it

 

[phillipdowning14]

I don’t have a diag light or diag speaker

 

[terry4536]

This probably will not apply to your situation, some Ryzen motherboards produced early in the year were released with a BIOS that were not compatible with the second generation processors. Those require a boot kit from AMD to allow those systems to boot. I thought I would mention that.

 

[phillipdowning14]

I think I would just need a bios update really. But I can’t get one

 

[terry4536]

I found a video that may help you. It covers what you are trying to do by assembling the system outside of the case. And it uses a Ryzen processor.

You may not have waited long enough for the monitor (see the video around 10 minutes in).
