I have the above motherboard a biostar 790gx a3+
I previsiously had 2 5770s installed and onboard video turned off but now i'm waiting on a 5870 and I want to use my onboard video.
Problem is even if remove the battery off the motherboard for 5 mins then put it back in it still remembers everything..
So I took it a step further I unplugged the cpu pulled it up on a seat and used the jumpers to reset the cmos and this didn't work.

On page 17 of the manual (the one for the motherboard not the bios)
it says
※ Clear CMOS Procedures:
1. Remove AC power line.
2. Set the jumper to “Pin 2-3 close”.
3. Wait for five seconds.
4. Set the jumper to “Pin 1-2 close”.
5. Power on the AC.
6. Reset your desired password or clear the CMOS data.

Now ive never done this before so I assume when it says remove ac power line that they just ment unplug it from the wall correct?

what am I doing wrong I just want my onboard to ride me through neweggs slow ass packing process omg they are gonna take the whole 2 days lolz =/
I got a acer h233h monitor im wonder if this could be the culprit? but it was working with the cpu before.
 
Solution
Most motherboards with on-board graphics will automatically sense the presence of a video card and disable the on-board graphics.

Try unplugging the power, pulling the battery, switching the jumper, and waiting overnight to see if you have reset the BIOS.
