I checked i bios and there were two options: AGP and Auto. It isset to auto, but I still can't get the integrated card to work.0

if you unplug the graphics card totally and plug your monitor into your onboard it should automatically go to the intergrated card unless otherwise disabled.
however this could also be the problem you are having if the drivers and bios have a conflict it could be defaulting to the intergrated card and ignoring the dedicated one when you boot up and so so you dont get any picture, maybe next time you get no picture before you turn the system off why not try and plug the monitor into the intergrated chipset socket and see if you get picture thenDrop a brand challenge
on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)0 -
Tried that, but it still gave me a blank screen. I will try disconnecting the video card and see what happens.0
