I wasn't aware of the ge thing. My recollection was about a budget laptop chip. It also had other problems. It was one of those very basic models that aren't sold in Western markets, so someone in North America might find it on AliExpress, though options were limited. Possibly it got renamed afterward.

Hi update, I attempted to reset the CMOS by removing the battery and touching the pins with a screwdriver. Still no improvement—system didn’t show any images. Eventually, I replaced the motherboard and it worked perfectly. I suspect the problem was related to this new board. I also mentioned earlier an SSD failure where it wouldn’t appear in BIOS or boot from it. I had a fresh motherboard ready but didn’t use it again, so it’s possible the SSD issue affected it. I’m not sure, but thanks for the suggestions!
Performing the CMOS essentially restores the BIOS to its default settings, meaning it could be a faulty BIOS or you may need an update. If the issue stems from a newer BIOS, simply noting it as “not bios” works; for older systems, leaving it standard might resolve the problem now.
For socket AM4, only models with G or GE labels feature built-in graphics. Designations ending in X or X3D (related to AM4) lack integrated graphics.
When discussing AMD products, they typically involve an APU. Although AMD created them, Intel is more prevalent with integrated graphics. On Intel platforms, AM4 usually has one, while Intel models often lack an F and don’t have an integrated GPU. The Intel chips usually include an iGPU but it’s turned off by default. With AMD systems using non-GHPs, such a component was rarely present initially. This situation shifts with the AM5 architecture. The 7 series generally lacks well-promoted APUs.

I thought based on what I found about the 3600 model, it had graphics while the X model didn’t.
I was mistaken earlier; I just formed an incorrect assumption.
