Blank monitor screen using motherboard HDMI

So I usually plug my monitor into the GPU HDMI port and it works fine.

Now I need to use that GPU HDMI port to plug an Oculus Rift in but I also need to see my monitor for set up of the Oculus. When I plug the monitor HDMI cable into the motherboard HDMI, there is a blank screen. I've changed the BIOS setting for 'Onboard Graphics' from 'AUTO' to 'ENABLED' and nothing is different.

Is this something I can solve by downloading drivers or something or is there a reason I can't use it?
