Hello,

I chose the ASRock mb last year for building my system because I wanted to connect 2 monitors and 1 tv. Ever since, I have run the two monitors off the GT9500 card. Due to space issues, I didn’t attempt to hook up the tv until this week.

Now I am finding that none of the 3 video ports on the ASRock board are working. Each time I connect either monitor by itself to any of the 3 ports on the mb, the monitor says “No HDMI signal.” I removed the GT9500 card to test just the mb ports, and no video works from the mb at all. (Thus, I can’t remove the GT9500.)

In reading the ASRock manual, it shows a BIOS setting with an option of DVI or HDMI, in the Northbridge configuration. When I go to that setting, I only see the PCI Express. I flashed the BIOS from the menu, which resulted in no change. I didn’t notice what version it was before the flash, but afterwards it reads ‘UEFI Version H77 Pro4-M P1.60’

I don’t believe I ever installed the video drivers for the mb when I built the system a year ago, because I just started using the NVidia at the time. So today I tried to update the mb video drivers (from the ASRock CD) but could not – there are no directions on which file to run, and the one I chose said that my system didn’t meet requirements; obviously the wrong one.

Can anyone tell me how to get the video ports on this mb to work? If you say to download any drivers, please tell me which file I need for my system, and which folder and filename is the setup to run. If my BIOS is outdated, please tell me how to update it.

I am working heavily the next two days, and I hope to find some guidance from a few kind souls when I return Saturday eve. Thank you very much in advance.

Well spotted. That CPU doesnt have integrated graphics. Sorry OP, you will need to add another graphics card, or change your card for one that can do more screens.
