copenworld, please post a screenshot of the F11 menu.  The UEFI is probably your USB stick.  Hit F12 to get a screenshot onto a FAT formatted USB stick plugged.  Enjoy, John.]]> Mon, 19 Feb 2018 10:01:55 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7678&PID=45421&title=cant-post-5-beeps#45421 <![CDATA[Can't POST, 5 beeps : MisterJ wrote:copenworld, while...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7678&PID=45419&title=cant-post-5-beeps#45419 Author: copenworld

it has indeed been a while since the boards had graphics on them

if your not building pc's regular its an easy mistake

hopefully, the above options should be ok depending on your usage and needs

Its working now! Not sure of the exact thing I did but could have been having all the RAM in or CMOS clearing.

Anyway, how do I change boot priority to use USB stick?  I only have the option of the harddrive and UEFI.

to add to this
also confirm your system ram is really fully seated (these newer slots require much more force than anyone would like to use )
check both ram and gpu are fully inserted and the contact pins are all level/inserted same amount

(ask me how i know ?..ive got one card here thats manufactured with slightly less amount of room than most cases need from the base of motherboard to the bent tab of metal bracket where you screw it in....resulting in the card not fully seating in motherboard if you use the securing screws)

also try when your sure and happy everythings plugged in ,to reset the cmos ,remove the button battery,remover power lead from wall,press and hold the case power button and wait 10 mins
and then refit battery and power lead and try to boot with 1 ram stick in a2......this first boot after cmos clear can take upto 5 mins

ITX board so only the one PCIe x16 slot to try.... 

Make sure the card is fully seated, especially if the board uses a steel reinforced PCIe slot, these are great but do make for a slightly more snug fit. 

The 5 beeps is a good sign, it means the system is working but not detecting a GPU (as per your OP).

If the GPU has an additional power connector make sure you have the correct power (PCIe) cable hooked up to it.

yes definitely plugged cable into the card. The card works as I then put it back in my AM3 PC and worked no problem. I even tried the DVI cable used by my AM3 PC and on a different screen and still got no signal.

Was about to ask the same thing myself about the monitor cable. Thumbs Up

@OP, you mentioned you tried using a single stick of RAM but got no beeps and no POST, try putting all your RAM back in with the GPU installed and the monitor cable plugged into the GPU.

My last build/present pc is on an AM3 socket. Not a gaming machine.

Any tips on the graphics card? I have an R5 series for PCI-E 2.1.  I've just put this in and nothing. I read PCI-E 3 was backward compatible.  But is it?
