Im building a pc and only need a gpu to compleed it
It a z270 tomahawk artic board with
Intel i7 7700k.

If i try to boot is wont. and the vga led stays on. Its checking for a gpu(that i dont have yet).

It wil boot when using a DVI card in the pci.
But is there a way to boot only on the CPU.
And noting in the pci slots
 
1., according to manufacturer your motherboard does not have display port. (ref: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z270-TOMAHAWK/Specification)
"Onboard Graphics
• 1 x HDMI™ port, supports a maximum resolution of 4096x2160@30Hz(7th CPU), 4096x2160@24Hz(6th CPU), 2560x1600@60Hz
• 1 x DVI-D port, supports a maximum resolution of 1920x1200@60Hz"


2. disconnect power cable from wall (PCc not plugged to power), open case, remove watch battery on motherboard for 3-4 mins. then put battery back in and apply power cable and boot, boot into BIOS, and make sure video choice is set to IGPU

Thank you for trying to help me.

I can't find a option like that. Are u sure my board has ons. And where it shoud be
 
Do you use an adapter between DVI-D and monitor? Which monitor is it?

disconnect the power cord from the wall
shorten the CMOS jumper contacts for about 10seconds to clrCmos (reset BIOS)
reconnect the cord and try again

The 7700K is an APU with integrated graphics, so your motherboard connectors should work.

I dont use the DVI. My motherboard has a hdmi. That's what i use(no adapters). Is that the problem?

Reseting the cmos was the first thing i did. So no luck there

well you must of not looked very hard in the motherboard manual then;
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z270-TOMAHAWK#down-manual


Boot -> Bios -> Advanced Setup -> Settings -> PEG X set to Auto.
then
Boot -> Bios -> Advanced Setup -> Integrated Peripherals -> integrated Graphic adaptor [PEG];

1. set to IGD
2. set integrated graphics share memory to as high as you can 64 or 128 probably
3. IGD multi monitor should be enabled.
save with F10 reboot


your welcome
