Athlon 200GE with low res monitor "Out of range"

Warenz Dragon · November 1, 2019

Hi all!

Irecently built a cheapo netflix and skype machine and wanted to hook it up to my fairly old plasma TV. I want to use only the Vega 3 integrated GPU with my Athlon 200GE CPU.

I installed Windows on an 1280X1024 monitor without issue, but then that monitor decided to go to a better place. Then I tried to hook it upto that plasma TV, with a VGA cable. (As that is the only supported thing by that TV.) It said Out Of Range. Than I thought, maybe it's resolution is too high and tried it with an older 1024X768 monitor. I got output, went to install the WiFi driver (don't have ethernet there) and the motherboard chipset driver from my Note9. After the chipset driver, I restarted my system and the monitor said: Out of range. Tried with the TV... And worked. Restart after adrenalin install and boom... It's not working. Hooked back to the monitor, not work, restarted with the monitor, not worked, replugged the TV and works... The only problem is, My WiFi stick isn't working. I hooked up my note9, shared internet via USB, internet works. Then open up edge... Nothing. Edge froze. Set my phone to file sharing, edge works. Set back to interned, edge froze... Restarted, no display. I can't even see the BIOS. I can't hook it up to my main monitor, becouse it would take really too much effort, to get the right cables, set up the monitor, and get behind that monitor. Can someone help me, how to solve the issue? After some plug-in/out it works with the TV, but just without internet. Mobo is a prime B450M-K btw.

Do you have the model name/number for that old monitor?
