" rel="nofollow - 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.
