I encountered a problem with my B350 Gaming Plus from MSI. When a GPU is connected via any PCI-E slot, video output isn't working. The EZ Debug LED shows the GPU isn't detected or failed. I switched to an ASUS TUF B450 because I didn’t want to deal with troubleshooting. I’m wondering if it’s possible to use this setup with a CPU that has built-in graphics, such as a Ryzen 5 5600G. Any suggestions on how to fix it would be helpful. I’m also thinking about selling the motherboard.
The GPU not showing up usually indicates a faulty GPU rather than a problem with the motherboard. With two motherboards, I’d verify if the second one also fails to detect it, which would help eliminate a motherboard issue. If the GPU is defective, swapping it out with another GPU or iGPU should resolve the problem. Although it’s possible to fix it yourself using the right skills and tools, diagnosing the cause and repairing it can often be more costly than purchasing a new one.
The problem lies with the motherboard. The GPU performed well on other systems, but not on this one. I tested it with the 1060 on another PC and the 960 on the faulty board. It didn’t function in the B350.
It depends on the specific problem here. If the GPU isn't recognized, the PCIe port might not be functioning properly. This could stem from a motherboard fault or a CPU-related issue. If the PCIe slot itself is faulty, an iGPU might still operate. On the other hand, if the CPU is the culprit, enabling the CPU could revive the GPU. For accurate diagnosis, someone or a repair shop should confirm the exact cause.
