   hi, I just built a PC with the following parts and power on gave me 5 beeps, no display and the VGA & BOOT POST LED remained on. The CPU & DRAM  LEDs were off.
----------------------------
PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fNGFYH

* Motherboard: ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 ATX AM4 Motherboard
* Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (1 x 32 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory 
* GPU Card: None
* Storage: None Attached at this time
* Case: DIYPC Skyline-06 ATX Full Tower Case 
* Power Supply: EVGA G5 1000 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
* CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-core, 24-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Prism LED Cooler

Am I wrong to understand that the X570 motherboard cannot be used without a discrete GPU? I thought that the " Integrated AMD Radeon??Vega Series Graphics in Ryzen Series APU" would suffice to display without the need for a discrete GPU card.

What may I do to trouble shoot the problem and boot into the BIOS to begin with?

Thank you!

	Current BIOS / UEFI version - Whatever came out of the box. without booting into the BIOS, I have no way to find out.

	The 3900x is not an APU and therefore does not have integrated graphics. The display outputs are there for use with APUs. You will need a discrete GPU.

	Thank you. I understood the specs of the montelmoalh isrollern/y and did not even know it. I'll see how I can get a GPU & fix it :-)
