No VGA Display with Ryzen 3 2200G (Solved)

[Krosis]

I am making this thread to ask for a reason for this problem, as well as, to let people who have had the same problem as me know about this issue.

 

I built a new system with the following config:

- CPU: Ryzen 3 2200G

- PSU: Corsair CX450M

- Motherboard: Asus Prime A320M

- RAM: GSkill Ripjaws IV 2400Mhz

- SSD: Samsung 850 250GB

- OS: Windows 10 64bit

When I turned the system on, it powers on, the fans are spinning, but there was no display on my monitor (connected through a VGA cable).

 

After troubleshooting everything, such as resetting the CMOS, making sure my BIOS is up to date, etc., I plugged in my TV via HDMI, and I finally had display!

 

Now this could very well be a motherboard issue, as I know the cheap A320s are not known for the best quality. I only chose that board because of budget constraints (I was building for someone else).

 

The person I built the computer for is still using their computer with a TV. They don't want to buy a HDMI monitor any time soon.

 

Why do you guys think this issue occurred? Is there any way to fix this?

See if there's a setting in the BIOS for default display output for onboard.

Nope, there is no such setting. And to just get into the bios, I would need a display too.

How did you make sure that you have the newest bios?

Does the box have a "2000 series certified" sticker?

Most probably the mobo isnt compatible with the cpu, because it doesnt have the correct bios.

I think that the a320 motherboards didnt get the 2000 series bios update, only b350 and x370 mobos.

it supports the 2200G, but not on the stock bios.
He may neeed to flash the bios to version 3203.

Yeah i checked on asus site and it supports, but he needs to flash it first.

Alright, so when I bought the components, the vendor flashed the bios for me. The vendor is a reliable one (Memory Express - Check out Linus' video!) and they tested the system on their monitor before handing it over to me. So I don't believe it's a bios flash issue. Also, if that was the case, why would the system work with HDMI?

So do you know for a fact that when they flashed the system that their monitor was hooked up to the VGA port also the current bios update is v4011 and it sure sounds like the IGPU is disabled by default on ASUS boards per my GOOGLE search but without direct knowledge of your particular board and cannot say for certain

To add to that, if you're not certain, try taking it back to Memory Express and see what they can do for you. They should be able to help you out considering they initially flashed the BIOS for you.

Guys, I just wanted to let you know that there was indeed a BIOS option to enable VGA output. It was just hidden under a lot of menus. The monitor works now!

Thank you for all your help
