Hi,

I built my 8 year old son a tidy entry level set up for general browsing, minecraft, gamepass and emulation with the option to upgade it later

Spec:

GagabyteB550M S2H Motherboard - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/gigabyte-b550m-s2h-amd-am4-b550-micro-atx-motherboard-mb-58t-gi.html

16gb 3200Mhz Ram - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...-3200mhz-dual-channel-kit-grey-my-0ak-tg.html

AMD 5600G APU - Online

ISSUE: Originally I couldn't get it to post so I sent the Motherboard and Ram back to overclockers and they updated the bios for me. Result! I've installed the OS, all the drivers and I can only get a display via VGA. HDMI Won't display on 2 of my screens including an LG CX OLED. On a 3rd screen I have I can get a corrupted green display on the bios but no display on Windows.

I can only put it down to a handshake issue, drivers or hardware fault on the HDMI port.

Can anyone offer any advice on how to enable HDMI?

Yes I have tried 2 different HDMI 2.0 Cables and a HDMI 2.1 Cable.

Thanks

I looked in the user manual page 27 is where you find the bios settings for onbard graphics you can change the diaplay resoloution. If your unsure how to tinker leave it as you may have to rest the bios.

Call Overclockers or post in the customer service section of the forum.

Would also remove Amazon link it against the forum rules.

Okay many thanks!

Would you say it's a software fault/setting? I really don't want to send it back again and rebuild it for a 3rd time haha

Difficult to say but thought if you set the bios display resoloution manually it mite connect to the hdmi.

Make that contact with Overclockers for sugestion but it may be a 3rd time back.

Did you try dvi port ?

Use the quote button please.

I'll borrow a DVI Monitor from work tonight and try. Will also look at the resolution settings. I would have thought my 4K OLED would have displayed the image though.

i would never have thought it would be the APU, if you had bought to connect to an older VGA monitor you would be none the wiser until you changed the monitor and by then your warranty could have gone

Yes absolutely!

I've also noticed a performance increase on the replaced APU with games like Crackdown 3, getting almost full 60 FPS on medium settings, it's a powerful chip and a great alternative to hang fire until GPU's are readily available again. The whole build cost me £600 with a 650w PSU, 1tb NVME SSD and case - just in time for Windows 11 and it's upgradable. Ideal for my 8 year old lad who is Microsoft obsessed haha.

The defected APU definitely seemed to have an issue with the "GPU" side of the chip, Amazon have refunded it full.

Shoutout to Overclockers for updating the bios on the motherboard for me.
 
That motherboard has Q Flash Plus, there was no need to send it back to update the BIOS.
You can flash the BIOS using a USB stick without needing to POST, I did the same with my 5000 series and Gigabyte board.
