How can I set up my PC so that it boots to the VGA/integrated graphics?
I am having no problems until I hookup the GPU. I know this because my first rig is attached to a tv so I use the HDMI through the GPU but my second rig is attached to a VGA monitor. I don't have the ability to hook it up through the GPU because I do not have a compatible display.
You need to list your system specs. It is possible that you actually do not have video out capability even if you have an HDMI output on the motherboard. I am going to take a shot and guess that you have an AMD Ryzen processor...
