So, I was installing windows 10 and my onboard graphics played up halfway through install, I've tried installing a known working graphics card, screen and cable. reset the bios by removing the clock battery and ram (to test it) and still no display. this was a known working computer, noted while install of windows 10 was still running if you hit the computer gently the graphics would return but would change but still be blurry. any ideas guys?
Everything kicks in but numlock led's dont light up when pressed.

Motherboard: GA-M61PME-S2P

Are you at least able to boot into the UEFI/BIOS? If you can, you can boot to your pendrive/dvd to re-install Windows.

Also, once you remove the PCIe GPU, reset the BIOS/UEFI so it picks up the iGPU. Not really necessary, but in your case might be advisable.

Cheers!
So you installed Win10 using the iGPU (integrated GPU) and then installed the PCIe one, but it broke the system?

If that is the case, then make sure the PCIe GPU is installed correctly. Sometimes you think it's secured, but you might have missed some pressure or the lock pin. Same goes for the power cables.

If the GPU is fine, then the next would be to just update Win10's drivers. There was another forum poster that had a similar issue and said a Win10 update fixed his problem. Your issue could be related, so remove the GPU so it boots and fully update Win10 and see how it goes.

Cheers!

So it crashed on the onboard graphics, tested with a graphics card and still doesnt work, all cables are fine, I checked them. I cannot get a display from GPU or onboard graphics...
Also the install of windows 10 did not complete, I forgot to mention so I am not able to bring up anything, install anything.. I have literally no way of seeing the screen?
