Hello, community. I recently uninstalled my graphics card and removed if from my computer. I then put it back into its slot and now my monitor is alerting me that there's no signal (however, it does seem like everything else is running and working). After removing it and relying on integrated graphics, the monitor has signal. I have made no changes to my computer since then, other than uninstalling the driver software. I remember having the same issue when I first got my graphics card installed into my computer. Since I had a friend do it, I do not recall how to overcome this issue again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. I am a noob with technology, so please be as simple as possible with explanations.

Easy fix, uninstalling drivers can put your windows display on back into intergrated solutions. Right click on desktop and display properties to set the appropriate display adapter.

Second fix is attach both DVI and HDMI to your monitor (if your monitor has both) and the dedicated slot will have display. I commonly get this problem on my computer that sometimes it wont display a damn thing with DVI only HDMI because of BS stuff windows sometimes do for no reason. If you don't have both then use the VGA port.

Boot it and there should be display. This is not about drivers, windows sometimes just don't want to recognize.

Normally bios should not be your problem because your computer should automatically detect it. But you can check your bios.

Alright just boot with your integrated graphics. When the bios screen pops up press the f2 button or whatever button u need to press to get into your bios. Go to graphics and set primary graphics to dedicated pcie slot. Then boot with your dedicated card connected to your monitor. It should work.
