Help, i cant boot after removing my gpu. Im trying to sell it, but after removing it only runs a series of loop. Doesnt even show the win7 logo. I tried disabling and uninstalling the gpu before removing and setting the bios to onboard setup. I might have not activated the igpu in the windows, im not sure. Its an i5 3570k an extreme4
 
Even if the iGPU wasn't installed in Windows it would still boot using a VGA/SVGA driver.

In your BIOS set the video card slot to [Auto] or [Auto if No Internal], or a similar value.

If you cannot see this value press [Ctrl]+[F1] from your main BIOS menu, then check every sub menu as they may have 'un'-hidden options.

This is especially true on Gigabyte boards.
