Hello , I have intel mother board and i have accidentally disabled my integrated graphics and my cmos battery is already dead for like past couple of months. I have tried to reset my bios through cmos jumper and by removing cmos battery but it does not reset. Please tell me any other way by which i can reset my mother board bios ;(

So you were previously using integrated graphics and they were working fine, but then you accidentally disable them and you can't get any kind of display now?

I'd try removing the CMOS battery and unplugging the PC's power cable for a minute or so.
 
Without a cmos battery, your cmos settings will be retained only so long as you have wall power.

The default bios should have reset the display adapter.

Likely, something else is wrong.
Is the monitor good?
Is the monitor input selector picking up the proper interface?
Is your monitor cable good and properly secure?

With such an old motherboard, it is always possible that it has become defective and needs to be replaced.
 
The fact that you can see the bios messages tells me that your display adapter is ok. as is your monitor.

Download the motherboard manual and look to see what the jumpers in question do and how they should be set.

Try booting windows in safe mode.
Press F8 while booting to get that option.
Windows will boot with minimal drivers.
Likely, you will need to reinstall the integrated drivers to get back to full resolution.
 

If you can access the bios, you should be able to change bios settings.
At the very least, buy a good cr2032 battery to hold whatever settings you set in the bios.
If you somehow disabled the graphics adapter, you should be able to reset it back.
If you really did that, the adapter would not be able to even display what you are now seeing.
