To put it simply:

Onboard works. When i put in new GPU, it boots to the GPU but won't show anything for the onboard. Can't install drivers beforehand. What do?

When I first put in the GPU, I got a no signal from my monitor when I connected both the onboard and the new GPU. I took out the GPU and the onboard got signal. NVIDIA won't let me install drivers beforehand so I'm confused as to what to do.

Did you plug in the 2 Pcie x4 ports in to the GFX itself?

I only have a Pcie x16 port, so I put in there. The card is brand new. Same with the computer. I just need to know how to get it so I can use the onboard to install the drivers for the 750 to get it to work.

Yes, but did you take your pcie chords from your Power supply and plug it in to your Graphics Card?

Which 750 ti do you have the? There are a couple models that require a 6-pin pci-e power connection. What happens if the monitor is plugged into just the video card and nothing is plugged into the the onboard? Have you tried setting the video card as the primary video option in the bios?
