Hi guys.

GFX Card: GTX 460, 1GB,
Onboard GFX: Radeon HD 4200
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.4Ghz
RAM: 4 Gig RAM
Motherboard: ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO

Ok, here's the problem.

I want to use the onboard GFX, so I set in the bios to look at onboard-PCIx0-PCIx1
This should be right
Then I remove the GTX from the case
With the power off of course :p
Then reboot and the PC doesn't even start, the main fan starts for about a second or 2 and the PC just dies.
HOWEVER, when I put the GTX back in, the pc will start and use onboard graphics.

I really need to get the card out, and use my PC's onboard graphics.

Any ideas ?

I don't understand; This appears to be a contradiction.

Thanks for the responses

@NoWorldOrder

With the GFX card in -> The PC boots into either Onboard Graphics or the GTX, whatever I set the BIOS to.

With the GFX card out -> PC doesnt even start up.

The problem is, I need the PC to run with onboard graphics, so I can remove the GTX.

I'm stumped here. I've never heard of anything like this; only when someone didn't disconnect the power, which you say you are.
Unless you are knocking some other cable loose when you take out the card - this is illogical.

There is a setting in your BIOS that prevents boot up without feedback from the VGA. There may be an error being created that doesnt allow your BIOS to automatically revert this setting to onboard when the card is removed. Try looking for it with your card in and then remove.
