Office lenovo pc.

Using intel 2500 integrated graphics. I wanted to install a AMD 4350 GPU.

The problem I’ve go is I get a display until windows loads then the screen stays on, but no display.

It's a driver issue, so I logged in to safe mode and uninstalled the intel drivers. (To clarify, as this is a work pc, we use an image to install the os which contains all the drivers. When I say I uninstalled the driver, there was no exe for me to run, I uninstalled it form the device manager)

Still reboot and try and get a display with the AMD card in side no dice.

Any other option rather than a full reformat?
 
Silly question but have you swapped your monitor from the motherboard io and into the amd card. Also try going into the bios and enabling pci/pci-e graphics see if that helps.

Cool username by the way.

Yep. I switched the cable to the AMD card, and even switched the display in the BIOS.

I get a display as the PC is booting but as soon a Windows switches over, the monitor light stays blue, but the display is black.
 
Move your mouse around when the display goes black.

If the mouse appears it's because your primary display has defaulted to another output.

No mouse appears.

I set in the bios the pci-e as the active display. However, a) it doesnt make a difference and b) by default it says it checks the pci-e before the integrated graphics, so theortically it should have produceda display.
 
Does booting into safe mode display anything? Can you get into the BIOS using just the graphics card rather than onboard.
