I am able to boot into Windows just fine, whether I am plugged directly into the mobo, or my GTX graphics card. Either way I use HDMI.
When I try to boot after removing the graphics card, I am completely unable to boot, just plugged into HDMI on the mobo.
When I DO try to boot this way, the machine gets stuck in a reboot loop with no errors, as soon as booting begins for the main hard drive, an SSD, the machine immediately reboots.
Steps tried:
-resetting bios to default
-uninstalling nvidia drivers
-making sure Intel HD graphics driver is installed correctly, it is
-booting with just VGA-booting into safe mode
-Enabling and disabling multi monitor support
-changing the graphics adapter to IGX, PCIE, PCI, or AUTO, same issue
All steps failed to resolve.
I have a suspicion that the graphics controller on the mobo is the cause? or the settings or driver related to it? why would I otherwise need a dedicated card plugged in to boot through Intel HD Graphics 3000 with HDMI plugged into my mobo?
My setup:
OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601 x64
Main drive: 256GB SSD
Graphics Card: EVGA Nvidia GTX 970
Motherboard: Asus P8Z68 PRO/GEN3
CPU: Intel i5-2500K / iGPU Intel HD Graphics 3000
RAM: 16GB DDR3
Monitor: Single ASUS 1080p, connected with HDMI
