Hi, so I was having some lagg issues so I decided to remove my GPU from my system and then boot up and see if the problem persisted (meaning is the GPU the culprit) through the mobo outputs... what actually happened was the Motherboard video outputs didn't give a signal to my monitor?

Is this normal? Is the motherboard faulty? I read somewhere that if you have a GPU in a system you have to change some mobo bios setting for the on board graphics to work... though when the GPU is out, you don't.

Specs:

Fractal r5

Asus Z170-A
Intel i7 6700k
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
Kingston HyperX DDR4 16gb (Dual)
MSI GeForce Gtx 970 OC
EVGA SUPERNOVA 650W

Thanks in advance

When you set up a motherboard that has on board graphics, and fit a Pci-e graphics card.

In the bios you have to change the default graphics card interface to Initialise first of all Jake.
It is set to Pci-e mode for the Pci-e based card that was in the system.

You basically default the bios back to default factory settings, and doing so it will set the on board video solution of the motherboard back to the first default graphics to Initialise first.

Then you will get a display from the monitor video cable when connected to the motherboard ok Buddy.
