I only had a
VGA monitor, this motherboard has a
VGA port, so at first glance, even at the store they assumed it would work fine.
When I got home and first turned on the
PC, disappointment
. No image at all on the
VGA monitor.
I checked online I already had the latest BIOS installed.
I tried connecting through a
HDMI cable to a TV, only then I got image and could access the BIOS, start to install the operating system.
Some days later, in
Windows 10, I still had the
HDMI TV as 1st monitor, I connected the
VGA monitor to the
VGA port as 2nd monitor, surprise surprise
, I finally managed to get output on the
VGA monitor, which told me it works but only in
Windows, for some reason, when I rebooted, outside
Windows, I couldn't see anything via
VGA, only through
HDMI.
Is it a motherboard issue (
ASUS), or processor issue (
AMD)? I've contacted both companies,
AMD told me it is recommended to use digital connections such as
HDMI, they said nothing about
VGA , which leads me to assume
AMD didn't worry about full
VGA support (since it tends to disappear in the near future), hence why it doesn't always work. I'd still like to know the technical explanation for this, to be better informed.
