I am new to the forum. I am trying to make a small PC with the Gigabyte GA-H77TN (LGA1155) mini-itx. It has an LVDS connection I did not intend to use. I believe this is the default display connection upon start-up for viewing the BIOS setup. How do I use another display port (DP or HDMI) as initial boot display?

Re: Gigabyte GA-H77TN Motherboard LVDS vs. DisplayPort
In the online manual for this mb LVDS is "Disabled" by default in the BIOS.
Are you sure the CPU you have has an iGPU?#1 - Please, when seeking help, enter the make and model of ALL parts that your system is comprised of in your Signature, or at least the model #'s in your System Specs, then "Save' it.

I could not find the default display into in the manual I was using. Maybe I have an old one??? Which port is the default display port?
I'm pretty sure the CPU has iGPU. I used this i5 with another mini-itx Intel Desktop Board S1200KP and it worked fine connected to the same monitor through its DVI port.
(Is my signature ok now? I am trying to build a simple PC so all of the info is not available yet. Baby steps. :))Comment

Do you have a system speaker you can attach to hear any possible error beep codes?
Also, what version of this MB do you have, v1.0 or v1.1 ?#1 - Please, when seeking help, enter the make and model of ALL parts that your system is comprised of in your Signature, or at least the model #'s in your System Specs, then "Save' it.

Re: Gigabyte GA-H77TN Motherboard LVDS vs. DisplayPort
v1.1. No beeps.
Tried DVI-D from display to HDMI on MB and BIOS comes up! Tried DisplayPort from display to DisplayPort on MB and it works too! I was using a VGA to DisplayPort cable that apparently did not work. Not sure why. Any ideas why?
The display I will ultimately be using only has DVI-D or VGA. What would happen if I use a DVI-D to DisplayPort cable?Comment

I'm not keen on adapters. They sometimes, as you've discovered, cause more headaches than they're worth.Originally posted by Spencer Mullen View Post#1 - Please, when seeking help, enter the make and model of ALL parts that your system is comprised of in your Signature, or at least the model #'s in your System Specs, then "Save' it.
