I have an old Intel DG33MO3 mobo, and the onboard graphics does not work.
I don't think the CPU, a core 2 duo e4500, has integrated GPU. When I start the system I get 4 beeps, which is a memory error. I tried changing RAM, but no effect. After adding a graphics card (2400 Pro), everything works fine. I tried clearing CMOS, still doesn't work. I am trying to get this system working for a friend for hosting a game server. Thanks.

Ok I found a solution... it was the ram all along! My ram could of had been those awful system specific ones, and it just wouldn't work even with a single stick in. I took all 4 out and swapped with another stick and everything works all fine. Thanks for your suggestions guys.

The integrated GPU in old G33 chipset socket 775 boards came from a the chips the manufacturers mounted on the motherboard. If that has gone bad, but adding an graphics card works, means you have to use a add-in GPU/video/graphics card. Not much you can do about it, unless it was something obvious like having the IGPU disabled in the bios.
