I can't activate my motherboard HDMI port

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have an AsRock B450M Pro4 motherboard and can't activate its HDMI port (all connections were done correctly)

Processor: Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650

After watching dozens of Youtube vids and googling common questions about setting up a second screen, I tried to do the work on my own and activate the  HDMI port on the BIOS. The instructions look simple: Restart>press Del/F2 constantly> once the BIOS screen appears>select advanced options> select "Chipset configuration> enable the option for HDMI port... The only problem is that I don't get the option for "chipset configuration".  I have an AsRock B450M Pro4 motherboard and all of those instruction vids had one thing that I didn't -- the chipset config option. I could really use some help. 

Thanks in advance!

	hi, your hdmi port is not active, it can be activated if u get cpu with built-in gpu (like ryzen 3400G) your GPU should have multiple video ports, u may just need display port to hdmi adapter
