Not detecting onboard graphics card anymore

So yesterday I installed my new 80+ Bronze EVGA Supernova 750w B2 power supply and 8gb (2x4gb) of RAM but once I did my computer no detected its onboard graphics card. I am using that one plus a Radeon HD 6450 which goes to two monitors.

When I turned on my computer after installing both the RAM and PSU it came up with something about the Core Unlocker (not being able to start? [Also this came up on the onboard GPU monitor]) but I just went ahead with my regular settings without configuring anything. Next thing I know I am only getting something from my 6450.

Next thing I did was to shut off my computer, take out my 6450 and see if the other video card would work, and it did. I put the 6450 back in and once again the Basic Display Adapter stopped working. (I'm guessing the 6450 is taking priority now, for some reason and just straight up stops the other one.)

My Full Specs:

Mobo: M4N68T-M v2

GPU: Microsoft Basic Display Adapter
Radeon HD 6450

PSU: 80+ Bronze EVGA Supernova 750w B2

RAM: 8gb (2x4gb) DDR3 1600

HDD: 930gb HDD SCSI 7200rpm

Optical: CD-ROM

Also running Windows 10.

Hope you can help. Thanks.

Check out this, might be something similar with your board.
"On many boards you can run both. Every 115x with video outputs has igpu multi monitor option in bios. Intel specifically introduced the feature alongside quicksync. But it is just simpler to run all monitors off your 650. If you still want to, in bios it's under advanced > system agent configuration > graphics configuration; enable igpu multi monitor. Then just install the intel drivers in windows." http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2029104/board-gpu-graphics-card.html

If you have the GPU installed, then you're right and it should take priority as it's now doing the graphical processing. Are you trying to use two monitors and one isn't working? Or were you asking if the onboard port is supposed to "not work" while the GPU is installed. (The answer is yes, the display should come through the card and not the onboard)

Before I had messed with my computer yesterday, both the onboard port and the installed GPU were working. (Two monitors for the HD 6450 and one monitor for the onboard.) But that is no longer the case and it is not even detecting the onboard one. I was wonder why it stopped and if there is a way to fix it.

Thanks for the help! I went to BIOS and checked for that but couldn't find it. Although I did find something else under
Advanced > Chipset > Southbridge
and had to change the primary GPU so that IGP was before the others. Now the monitors are all connected and fine (hopefully.) :)
