+1. It's not new.
If you want to test the theory, reset the bios to factory default, and
see what the video defaults to.

an odd configuration, and if it were normal, I’d guess that it’d be the
#1-10 hits on Google as every man and his dog would be running into the
same problem.
Also, just a thought, if the board supports Intel vPro, then the AMT
feature would allow someone to reconfigure the BIOS over the LAN, thus
getting around the Catch 22 situation you describe.

*Subject:* Re: [OT] New PC no video
My friend just rang to say he got the new box working, but in a way the
confused and worried him. He also could get no video out of the
motherboard, so in desperation he stuck a video card in, and it worked.
Then in the BIOS screen he set it to use "onboard video" (which normally
has to be the default), after which it works without the video card. So
how stupid is that?! A perfect Catch-22 .. you can't configure the video
to work until you get the video working. Sheesh! I'wondering if the
ASRock board come out of the factory with the wrong settings -- /GK/

That’s tell-tale for RAM not seated, and/or CPU. I’m not sure with
these new MBs whether there is a connection to a speaker but it was
used as a useful fault detection by a pattern of “beeps”. Your MB’s
guide may show a pattern of LEDs for fault diagnosis (green/red
lights on the board).
