Accidentally disabled Intel's HD 4600. Screen cannot display? Any help?

Fistpump · Oct 25, 2014

So I received my custom built Computer yesterday and while playing games realized that it was using Intel's HD 4600 instead of my Nvidia GTX 760. At the time i looked in device manager to check if my Graphics card was actually there. I found the integrated graphics a long with my Graphics card. Stupidly i decided to disable it and see if it would automatically switch to my Graphics card instead. Of course what really happened is i cant see any of my screen. So i shut my computer down and then started it back up only to find out that i could no longer see what was happening. I looked into some Articles to find a lot of solutions. I know the most common way seems to be in the BIOS settings however for some reason my monitor does not display the BIOS. I have heard all i need to do is connect my monitor to my GPU and it should work however i haven't got the right lead to it at the moment and was wondering if i can have a clear walk through on how to re-enable my HD graphics.

Thanks very much.

"haven't got the right lead to it at the moment" - what do you mean by that? Have you tried connecting your monitor directly to the GPU?

Try reseting the CMOS by removing the jumper or removing the battery on the motherboard. Video here on how to do it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pdp_L5IxaNI

I'm not sure how to explain it. If resetting my CMOS doesn't work i'll take a picture of it and show you what i mean

resetting the cmos will not change the disabled card in Windows.

Chances are the bios is trying to use the dedicated card.

My recommendation is to try safe mode.

1. Open the system and remove the dedicated card. This will force the system to use the integrated for the bios.

2. Start the system and tap the F8 key as soon as the post is done, you should get a screen allowing you to boot into safemode(more info here).

3. If you make it to Windows, try to uninstall the onboard card from the device manager(you may not even have to do this to be honest). reboot the system.

With any luck the system will boot an autodetect the card over and enable it.

Now onto the next issue you have. Clearly you are connected to the wrong card.
How do you not have the right lead for the video card? If you have VGA, adapters from DVI-I -> VGA(d-sub) are readily available that will allow connection of even the oldest monitors.

If you can get on the dedicated card, you do not even have to worry about playing with the other one and can even disable it in the bios if you wish.

If i manage to connect my monitor to my GPU will it solve my problem without tampering with my dedicated card. I know you probably know a lot more about this then me so you have to understand how badly i dont want to remove something and mess it up by accident.

3. If you make it to Windows, try to uninstall the onboard card from the device manager(you may not even have to do this to be honest). reboot the system.

If i manage to connect my monitor to my GPU could it work without the other steps?

Yes. If the dedicated gpu shows the bios and Windows(it should), you do not need to do anything else.

At this point you can enable the onboard(device manager) if you wish and then disable it in the bios. that way if you ever need it, you just have to remove the dedicated card and reset the bios and it will take over on its own.

I found a VGA cable and now it works again. Your'e a savior thank you so much.

Thank you so much it works!!!!
