Hi guys, I just built my own pc for the first time and i have got an asus z170 pro in it. I was wondering two things really. Is there any way that my wiring could have made the integrated graphics on the board not work? The motherboard is working as i am using the pc to write this right now and have been playing some games etc but whenever i try plug the monitor into the socket where the integrated graphics would power it nothing comes up. However when i plug it directly into the graphics card the screen turns on immediately. Its not major as i can just run the monitor off of the gpu. However i would rather get it fixed if something was broken. Is it even worth running the monitor on the integrated graphics or and games on the gpu or should i just run it all on the gpu?

Thanks for your time, Bazza
 
Solution
If you have the driver installed for the on-board video if you remove the video card then the boards graphics should work but not with a video card installed.
