Hi all, first post =)

I am losing my mind over this!
I have GeForce GTX 970 which has 2 monitors hooked to it (HDMI and DVI).
I also have 10 meters long HDMI cable going to my TV and whenever I decide to watch a movie I unplug the HDMI to the monitor and plug the TV's one.
Then I realized I have a built in graphics on the Z87-A with a HDMI output. I was like "O nice I can have family guy on the TV for background while I work on my 2 monitors".
Right?
No!

Googling around I need to enable onboard graphics on my BIOS, but there is NO System Agent Configuration section in there.

Before I take my PC apart what would be my options? Could taking out the 970, booting to bios, enabling onboard, attaching my 970 back again work?



Thank you so much good people of Tom's, saved my behind multiple times over =)

Solution
On the advanced menu, there is no "System Agent Configuration" option ? The SATA Configuration is adjacent to the USB Configuration?

Holy hell an answer in the first 10 minutes :D Thank you for taking your time to look into this!
The option is not present anywhere. I have read in google that it may disappear once you insert a PCI graphics card.
As for the SATA conf. I would have to ask you to be more specific. =)


Thank you!

I just went to the user's manual and went to PDF page 75. That is what I meant by SATA Config next to USB Config ...

I don't know what you did, kind Sir, but when I went to fetch you a screenshot of my BIOS, sure enough there was the "System Agent Configuration" option in it's full gloom. :D
Already TV connected and SouthParkStudios playing on it.


Thank you!
