My graphics card (Radeon 6570) seemed to have stopped working when i hit "GPU scaling" on catalyst control center. From then i relied on my CPU graphics (A8 7200). Today i tried fixing GPU by going on BIOS and disabling CPU graphics (which I'm kicking myself for)... It seems like that fix didn't work so now I can't display anything! Please I need to fix this quickly! I hope I didn't screw this up permanently :(
 
Solution
I visited the ASROCK web site and found they have pdf files of all owners manuals. I checked a two and found the reset mechanism used is sometimes a berg strap (jumper) while others have a button. Download the specific users manual for the motherboard you have and follow the directions for Clearing CMOS. CMOS default should be to enable on-board graphics.

Most motherboards have a hardware BIOS reset mechanism, usually putting a clip onto two berg pins, that resets the BIOS to factory default, which should re-enable your onboard graphics. The MB owners manual should provide instructions on how this is done.

I couldn't find any jumpers on it so I tried restarting BIOS by taking out and putting back in the CMOS battery and it didn't display anything. Perhaps the default BIOS settings are set to display output from PCI-E? :??:
