I just built a ASRock b460m pro4 with Ryzen 5 2600 CPU. Cooler master 212 Evo. G Skill aegis 16gb ram 3200mhz. Msi rx570 armor of 8gb. It turns on with no monitor signal. I have reseated plugs... Changed monitor cables..... reseated Ram.... reseated CPU. Can't get it to do anything. |

Do not connect the monitor cable to the mainboard! But directly to the graphics card. The connections on the mainboard only work if a CPU with internal graphics card is installed. |

| I connected to graphics card. Removed graphics card and connected to MoBo. Still nothing. I wonder if my Ram is compatible. AsRock qvl says no. G Skill qvl says yes. It's g skill aegis 2x8 16gb 3200mhz |

The Ryzen 5 2600 does not have integrated graphics so plugging any video cables into the motherboard headers is not going produce any kind of a video signal. Make sure your video card is properly seated .. try booting with just 1 stick of ram .. with monitor cable plugged into your video card ------------- |Ryzen 5 5900|ASRock X570 Taichi-BIOS 4.60|2x16GB HyperX Predator RGB 3200@3600 1:1 IF|ASRock RX 6700XT|2 x PCIe 4.0 M.2 Drives for OS & Games|850 WTT Seasonic 80+ Titanium PSU|Noctua NH-D15| |

a few things to try fit the gpu in the lower pcie slot and see if you get an output there also are you using any kind of adapter c\able from the rx570 to the monitor eg a dvi to vga convertor plug/lead of some kind if so this dosnt work on this board ............ask me how i know  if you get display when using the bottom pcie slot then we are most of the way there to getting this fixed ------------- [url=https://valid.x86.fr/jpg250]  [/url]3800X, powercolor reddevil vega64, gskill tridentz3866, taichix370, evga750watt gold |

It's worth mentioning, that is Gskill Aegis RAM, I often see it not work on AM4, especially with pre 3000 series CPUs. Aegis is designed for intel. Unfortunately it tends to be one of the cheapest RAM models available and we often see people having issues with it on AM4. If Datonyb's suggestions do not work, your next step should be to try different RAM. Fortis is Gskill's budget AMD line. -------------

if its not the pcie slot then i tend to agree with xaltar allthough to be fair this board seems quite good with ram ability i have unsupported crucial ballistix 3200 kit work instantly with a ryzen 1600af if you do change ram the ballistix seems a safe bet for cheap but appearently good ram ------------- [url=https://valid.x86.fr/jpg250] [/url]3800X, powercolor reddevil vega64, gskill tridentz3866, taichix370, evga750watt gold |
