A68M-ITX Black Screen + 5 Beeps

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

   I've just put together the following machine:
ASRock A68M-ITX 
AMD Athlon X4 860K
Kingston HyperX Fury 8gb (2x4gb) DDR 1866MHZ 
Thermaltake Core V1 Mini ITX Case
EVGA 430w Power Supply

When I boot the machine up I get a black screen and 5 beeps the speaker (internal post speaker for testing).  The only thing I can find on the website is that 5 beeps means it is without a VGA card which is confusing is it has a built in one.  Am I missing something obvious or is the board a duff?

Thanks in advance for any help!

	When using an Athlon CPU on any FM2+ motherboard you need to use a discrete graphics card.
