Hey! It sounds like you're facing a challenge with your PC setup. Since your CPU isn’t an integrated graphics chip, you’ll need to consider alternatives for running Windows without a dedicated GPU. The Ryzen 7 3700X has a good performance, but you might explore options like using a dedicated GPU later or checking if your motherboard supports a compatible solution. Let me know if you want more details!

The 3700X lacks graphical features even with the available ports on the motherboard; there’s no way to activate them. Moreover, the system won’t boot properly without a GPU or an APU when using a CPU with built-in graphics.

It seems like the device likely lacks an HDMI or VGA output port.

Which motherboard you're referring to? Most of these are server models with built-in GPUs. If you share the model, I can give more specific advice. Feel free to link it for better support.

But the motherboard itself should already boot with a bios without a gpu right?

POST verifies the presence of a GPU. Without a dedicated or integrated GPU, the process cannot finish.

We all started from scratch. Everyone needs time to grasp things, but keep in mind, the GPU will handle the rest once it arrives.

Haha thx. I will still check if the motherboard and the other parts light up when I turn the psu on. (I'm still missing a lot of stuff. I only have the cpu, some case fans and the case itself for now.)
