Hello all. 
To begin with, I work on a PC, Windows 7. I don't know what "version" (?) of BIOS I have, but the layout seems to be different from many that are on the internet.
A while ago my graphics card went crazy, displaying colourful squares and whatnot instead of a normal screen. I discovered that after experimenting a bit with what was wrong. At that time, I could run the computer in safe mode and sometimes in normal mode even, and after a while the screen went all colourful again.
I then managed to switch to an onboard card and used it for a while, but now I decided to switch again, and the computer doesn't even want to run properly in safe mode - the screen is either black, or all colourful.
My question is - since I can't see the BIOS setup, how can I switch back to the onboard graphics card? Is that possible?
I can understand the graphics card might be broken since it's about 7 years old.
So the case is with switching the cable to a different socket in the computer, but in order to do that, I first need to change my primary graphics adapter in BIOS. Is it a lost cause, do I just need to take it to some computer service?
I tried finding a BIOS layout on the internet and doing it by pressing the right keys by memorising how many times i have to press to get to a correct setting, but each BIOS layout is different and I don't know if it's even worth trying, since I can mess something up.
I'd be grateful for any answers.
