Alright, I have a secondary monitor i'm trying to setup to my PC.. The only problem is I only have 1 DVI adapter, so I wanted to hook my second monitor into the onboard video card on my MOBO. I did that, but it's not registering the monitor at all. And I don't see the integrated graphics anywhere in my device manager.. I also looked at the bios and I didn't see any kind of option where it might be disabled. Basically what i'm asking is.. Is it possible to have my main GPU attached to my main display, and a secondary display hooked into the integrated graphics card?

To answer your question, I believe the only way to use a combination of plugs on your video card and motherboard is to make use of Lucidlogix Virtu-MVP or similar software control of built-in resources. I know this feature is available on many Intel 1155/1150 chipsets. Generally a discrete video card with used outputs disables the outputs of the integrated graphics but software such as the Virtu-MVP can bypass this and use a combination of the resources from both integrated and discrete graphics.

Yes it is, as long as your GPU is compatible (on board NVidia and radeon GPU might not work for dual). Also your GPU must be dual monitor capable. Find out what on-board graphics you have and D/L the driver, then install. Go into the driver settings of the on-board or the GPU (nvidia center or whatever) and enable dual monitors.

I found the option in my BIOS to boot up from my integrated graphics card first, so I did that. But now I have no access to my monitor on my GPU. And I can't go into NVIDIA to turn on dual display.

Here's what I would do. Google a program of your choice to Completely uninstall your GPU drivers. Update your onboard graphics drivers. In your BIOS set your onboard graphics to always on. Re-install your GPU drivers and update.

If possible, what GPU are you using?
What Motherboard and CPU do you have?
