I've got a new build and I'm getting no video and an odd POST. One long beep and three short beeps on a Gigabyte, which according to [1] means a "Graphic card error", but there is no graphics card. See it POSTing for yourself at [2]. The motherboard has both VGA and HDMI, and I've tried having each one plugged in individually, as well as both plugged in. No video and the same post under all combinations. Any suggestions?

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-H
CPU: AMD Athlon X4 845
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s PC3-12800 CL9 1.5V UDIMM 240-Pin Memory (BLS8G3D1609DS1S00)
PSU: EVGA 430W Power Supply (100-W1-0430-KR)

Solution
Athlon X4 845 has no integrated graphics. If you want to use the motherboard VGA and HDMI, then you need to install an A-Series APU. The Athlon X4 845 requires an add-on graphics card.
