Hi!
I wanted to use my integrated GPU for a moment. Unfortunately after choosing in BIOS "Integrated Card First" and saving changes my PC started to reboot again and again after I launch it. Black screen (no signal), no BIOS sounds, nothing. Just rebooting every 3 or 4 seconds. I AM SURE that one or two years ago it worked perfectly. But then I bought external PCI-E graphics card and I didn't use the internal one. I removed BIOS battery to reset settings. Indeed now my PCI-E card is the default one agin but it didn't solve the problem.
It is possible that I messed something up while I was changing my computer chassis.
I'm giving you a picture of sockets that are connected with the AC (red circles).

are you sure it saved it? F10 and then ENTER? then you moved the monitor cable to the board? did you try pulling the card?


another thing. I see that "hybrid" sli.............. just like it's cousin hybrid xfire, it can cause problems if not disabled. root around the BIOS and disable that too.

Yep I'm sure that I saved it. Yes I moved the monitor cable to the onboard card. I also tried to completly remove PCI-E GPU. Hybrid SLI is greyed for some reason and it stays disabled (I can't even change it). ASUS FAQ says that if the Hybrid SLI is greayd than I should "... update BIOS to version 0403 or later." however it is already updated to 0602!
 
some BIOS updates need to be done incrementally. I ran across that before. just because you have the newest doesn't mean you have something you need.

look at the pdf files associated with the BIOS' and see if there is something you might need to help your situation.

here's a strange on. try replacing ( buying a new ) cmos battery. crazy stuff happens when the batteries are dead.

if this is a legit operating system, go to windows update to look for firmware updates.
