Hello there, PC noob here.
I recently bought a new PC(lenovo ideacentre 510-15IKL, more info & specs below), and I was rather shocked by how low the FPS was when I was playing games such as League of Legends. My old PC with sh*t specs, kept my FPS between 5-30, and my new PC only increased my FPS by about 40(Good enough, i know, but still), so I decided to investigate why my new graphics card wasn't as good as i hoped it would be. I got an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 2GB, and therefore decided to open the geforce control panel by right-clicking on the desktop. As i tried to open it i got the message that my monitor wasn't connected to any Geforce GPU. Wierd, I thought, so I decided to try and force the connection by disconnecting my Intel hd graphics from the task manager. As I disabled it, my screen went black and I am unsure of what to do.
I have searched across multiple forums and found a few solutions, and I have not tried any yet. Don't be mad, I got explanations:
Fix #1 Battery: I have read that taking out some sort of battery should reset the settings and fix my problem, but my issue is first not knowing what kind of battery is in question, then I don't think I am clever enough to find it on my own and most importantly: I'm super scared of opening and touching the insides of my PC on my own since I got no experince with computers.
Fix #2 Cable to GPU: I found that I could connect my monitor directly to he GPU with an HDMI-cable, but the problem is that my monitor is age-old and doesn't have and HDMI slot.
I have also been seeing a lot of PC expert terms like CMOS, BIOS and other shorts I cant relate to.
With that said, please provide me with baby-worded solutions, so that I can understand what to do.
Thanks in advance from your very own, bad english-speaking, PC noob.
Specs:
Intel core i5 7400
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 2 GB
Don't kill me for this but I don't know any more specs
OS is windows 10 Home
Edit: Link to where I bought the PC from, should provide more details, my bad.
