I have been trying to get my computer to recognize my onboard video so I can use Quick Sync for streaming to Twitch.tv, and I have been having a terrible time trying to get it to work.

First, I made sure it was enabled in my BIOS. I have a P8Z77V-LK motherboard and a 3570K CPU, so I have everything I should need. But, the onboard video never shows up in Device Manager. I read somewhere that one thing I could do is remove my video card completely (physically!), plug into the onboard video, and it will start working. So, I tried it, and it worked! But, when I put my graphics card back in, Windows stopped loading until I removed my graphics card again, disabled the onboard video in Windows, and put my graphics card back in.

Last night I tried installing the LucidLogix crap, because I was told that might help. When I try enabling my VGA controller again, it blackscreens. Luckily I can load into safe mode and disable it again, or I would probably have to reinstall Windows.

Anyone run into this? Anything else I could try? Any help is greatly appreciated!

There's only 1 option you need to enable and that's igpu multi monitor. There are no other priorities or options that necessarily need to be changed.

Asus mobos are known to have issues trying do to this and there is no known fix.
What version of Windows are you running? I had a similar setup where I used the onboard graphics for 2 monitors and a GPU for 2 monitors - it worked perfectly for 2 years running on Windows 7.....a simple upgrade to Windows 8 made it inoperable....I could run either the GPU - 2 monitors OR the onboard graphics (GPU removed) - 2 monitors. It would not load both. I put my Windows 7 HDD back in and it loaded perfectly....

What do you mean - in my BIOS? There isn't an option that states it is enabling iGPU directly, just some priorities in the BIOS and a few other options.

If you mean the "VGA controller" bit at the end, it's just as it says - it's listed as the VGA controller, so I right click it and click "enable" and boom, black screen. :p
