Hi, I found for a few bucks this motherboard and its CPU AMD athlon X4 860 Quad core to work with a Window 7 Pro OS. Reading on the MB box "integrated AMD Radeon R7/R5 Series Graphicin A-series APU" I supposed to just plug the monitor into one of the MB video output... black screen. I had to install a GT9500 to see what was going on the screen during OS installation. "You have to set the Bios, choose Internal as graphic card!" I've been answered by friends. Done. Black screen. Is the MB joking me? Downloaded all the possible drivers. Black screen. Sure its joking me. in Device Manager only appears the GT9500. WHY the MB has 3 video output if no one is detected and is working?? Any suggestion?  |

"integrated AMD Radeon R7/R5 Series Graphics in A-series APU" That is the key right there, an Athlon x4 860 is not an A-series APU  The graphics hardware is built into the CPU not the motherboard and the Athlon does not have it. You would need an A10/A8/A6 processor to use the onboard display outputs. Check your board's CPU support list for what APUs it supports. They are fairly cheap on ebay these days. Otherwise you will need a dedicated GPU. -------------
