I disabled my integrated graphics in my device manager settings in windows. That turned the display off, so my computer is functioning but I can't do anything as I don't get any display on my monitor at all. It is exctremely unlikely that something broke, because I was using this computer fine before I did this. I looked up the issue online and it said to reset my bios/cmos. The only way to do that on my gigabyte gaming 3 mobo is to remove the battery and put in back in. I have removed the battery several times for long periods of times and even tried other batteries. The bios won't reset because I'm still not getting a display, with hdmi connection from my mobo or my gpu. How can I fix this and reset the cmos?
 
Solution
Take out the graphics card and boot without it. Try from the mobo hopefully that will reset it. Otherwise you might have a bad graphics card. What card is it?

I'll give it a shot. The card is an MSI gtx970, only 2 months old

EDIT: This worked! Booted up the computer and it sent me right into my bios. Is there anything else I need to do in the bios or something before I plug my card back in and resume using the computer as normal?
