On board graphics

My motherboard has on-board graphics, or at least there is a dvi and HDMI connection built onto my motherboard.

Is there something I need to do to enable this? At the moment I connect my monitor and no display appears and cannot even see the BIOS / post
 
With that board the IGP will be on the CPU itself. What CPU are you using? There should be an option somewhere in the BIOS to allow both IGP and GPU to be enabled together.
 
A motherboard should always ship with onboard graphics enabled. Is it brand new? You can always remove the bios battery for a few minutes to reset everything.
 
you can clear the cmos, which if disabled will reset the on board gpu to enabled.
you will loose all of your settings though so hopefully you have them saved to a profile? if you do and you use the profile, make sure to set the on board gpu to enabled before saving and exiting.
 
Press the delete button during POST (When the Gigabyte boot screen appears after you turn on the PC).

When in the BIOS, under classic view, go to Peripherals and make sure Intel Processor Graphics is set to enabled.

After that save and boot to Windows. Might be worth opening Device Manager to check if the Intel 4600 is installed under Display Adapters.
 
I did have a GPU but don't at the moment. I basically need to do it blind as it will possibly be disabled in the BIOS.

Something like;
Del - to enter bios
Cursor Right x 3 - peripherals
Cursor Down x 4 - Intel processor graphics
Page down - change to enable (possibly?)
F10 - Save and exit

I have perfect overclocked settings and think i do have them saved to profile but not 100% sure. May just wait a few days for my GPU to arrive instead of clearing the cmos
 
Don't suppose you're near Gillingham, Kent, are you? If so, pop over and I'm sure I'll have a spare GPU you can borrow just to get the on board GPU enabled.
 
Thanks Stu, very kind but can go a few days without it. Realised i can use my Linx tablet for what i need to do (work from home)
 
Installing the intel display drivers listed on my motherboard site just show a solid black screen after reboot and logging in

Is that with the BIOS set to all defaults, have you tried another VGA/HDMI/DP cable?
Click to expand...

Another DVI-D cable has been tried and is the same. I have now connected an old monitor via vga cable and is working fine. It (the onboard GPU) obviously just doesnt like DVI-D, which is the only connection my Hazro monitor has

edit, the old monitor also has DVI which works to the DVI connection on the onboard. So possibly something related to the Hazro only supporting DVI-D, the on-board says its DVI-D comptible though so not too sure now - http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4959#sp

Sounds like the DVI port is only outputting analogue (DVI-I) and not DVI-D (Digital). In the menus for the Hazro can you change it to analogue input? I've also seen an older post on the Gigabyte forums referencing the amount of video RAM allocated causing a problem with DVI-D, try setting it to 64MB. A bug perhaps?
 
Thanks, ill check in the Hazro menu but theres hardly any options in there. Its basically a great (and cheap) panel but nothing else.
Nope, no adapters are being used

This is the monitor - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/hazr...ofessional-glass-monitor-black-mo-011-ho.html

I did find this thread but it has always worked fine with my nvidia gpu(s) its just the intel onboard it has problems with. Saying this, when i re-install nvidia drivers sometimes i noticed strange fuzzy graphics as in the picture above. Maybe that is related ti scaling and the monitor driver

edit - no menu options exist apart from volum up/down (done use the crappy monitror speakers) and brightness up/down. I tried the monitor driver in the thread above and that didnt do anything either. I'll just use this smaller monitor until my gpu arrives
