Blank Screen after Intel Graphics 530 install...ugh!!!

[Chad_35]

Hey guys, I've tried just about everything I can. I've got an Asus Z170-A mobo and recently traded in my graphics card. While I'm waiting for the new one to arrive I had to switch to integrated graphics. As soon as Windows 10 loads and before I get to the login screen it goes black. I've tried every driver version from current to about a year ago and its the same damn thing. I can get into safe mode and it will boot fine with the windows generic graphics driver. I'm about to start video editing and the generic driver won't cut it. Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Asus z170-A
BIOS 0050 (Non K Skylake OC Cooked bios)
Windows 10
16gb crucial 2400
i5 6500 OC 4.5

Since you have an overclocked CPU with a modified BIOS from the looks of things, tough to know where the issue is, but I'd point to one of those as the cause.

Test with a clean Windows setup on a spare hard drive.

Thanks, just tried that and same thing, me thinks its the bios. I'm going to flash a clean version and see if I get the same issue.

OK, I've been able to source it to the cooked BIOS. Apparently the BIOS to overclock a non-K CPU disables a mobo power regulator which is what allows it to overclock the bclk. It seems the Intel Graphics 530 needs this to run correctly. The solution was to flash a stock bios. All good! thanks!
