I wanted to remove my 670 as I'm selling the card, but when i delete the drivers and try to get my HD graphics going, nothing happens. When i move my HDMI cable into the motherboard HDMI slot, the monitor says no signal. I don't know whats going on. I tried to download the drivers and the setup said computer doesn't meet requirements.

Could someone help me out?

I have a gigabye z77x-ud3h with an i7-3770k processor. The processor has built in HD graphics, but I don't see why it isn't running it when i plug my hdmi into the motherboard slot.

I'd try physically taking out the 670. Its still forcing the 670 to be used for some reason.


Did you physically take out the gtx 670? If not its likely defaulting to that because its there. You can change this in the bios. Where its at is different for each bios but it should be fairly obvious which option does it. Simply change it from PCI-E to whatever the other option is.

Yeah thats the thing, I located the bios menu in which I can change from PCI,IGFX or PGB. I'm not sure what the last one is, but i'm pretty sure igfx is integrated graphics, I could be mistaken though. When i switch to IGFX and enable integrated graphics then i reset the pc and switch the hdmi into the motherboard. But i get no signal. I couldn't find INTEL HD graphics as an option in the bios. I thought maybe i needed to install the drivers, but when i try to install the setup file it says that the computer doesn't meet requirements. I'm confused...
 


Interesting, that should have worked. Sometimes HDMI can be a bit fiddly, do you have any other cables to try?

Yeah, but the cable i used was the one I am using right now that's plugged into my GTX 670 HDMI port. I don't get it...I can't find drivers for the HD 4000 on the site either. All the processors listed for 3rd generation are not showing the 3770k in the readme.

Ok so i did remove the card, but now im running on standard vga adapter. I don't think my Intel hd graphics drivers are installed, but I can't find where to install it... everytime i try to run the set up it says doesn't meet requirements. I'll figure it out i guess, thanks for your help man.
 


Odd, what does device manager list as your graphics card?

Maybe try installing it in safe mode? Doubt that would help though

I got it working. I guess since my GTX 670 was installed, it wouldnt let me install the HD 4000 drivers. I just removed the card, then downloaded the file you linked and it installed.

Thanks man, really appreciate the help.
