I disabled the integrated GPU as I saw that it was using that the computer was using that rather then the actual GPU, the computer screen turned black, I read some fixes, I booted the computer and tried to press F8 removed the battery on the motherboard, now it continuously beeps and still won't display anything.
Please help.

This is going to sound very simple, but you do have the cable plugged into the GPU right, and not into the iGPU. By this I mean are you plugged into the connectors on the GPU as opposed to the motherboard. Whilst this sounds simple I have seen this alot.

Have you tried re-seating the graphics card? Pulling it out of the system and then putting it back in again.

If your motherboard has more than one PCIe slot on the board, can you please try putting the GPU into the other slot and see if that works. If not do you have another GPU anywhere you could try? Maybe from an old computer?

Does your motherboard have any kind of POST readout on it? Usually a small 8 segment display that shows a code like A8 or FF or something like that.

Unplug the HDMI cable from the motherboard.

See if you can manually change the monitors input method to DVI by using it's controls.

You should have another hdmi on the graphics card next to the DVI connections. Plug into that and then boot up the computer (not before).

Have had both plugged in, neither of them display anything. All it does is continually beep.

To reset the bios to factory, you need to do more than just remove the battery I think, there are usually a couple of pins to short out ( Clear CMOS jumper) Always turn of power before doing this!
