Question Gigabyte Z170 onboard graphics black screen

[dvdmcwilliams]

Hi guys, my gpu passed away yesterday, so in order to keep using my pc I've removed the gpu to use the onboard graphics my i7 6700 provides me, the matter is when I turn on the pc I hear the beep, the screen get signal but is black, cant see the gigabyte logo, etc, Im using now a hd5450 till the new gpu arrives, but I've read that the onboard is better than this one, do you know how can I fix this? I set the bios to start the onboard first but nothing happens.
Gigabyte z170 gaming 7 with latest bios version, i7 6700 (non k), lg 23mp55.

Have you tried igpu with no graphics card installed? Bios may still be disabling igpu if a card is present, even if set to use igpu first.

Yes igpu was set first without any card.

Use the Radeon to put graphics adapter back to auto, shutdown then remove it.

Possibly try clear cmos. Remove the motherboard battery for a few minutes. Discharge remaining capacitor power by holding the case power button for around 30 seconds first before removing battery.

Mind boggle.

What video connection are you using?

The Radeon gpu is definitely working yeah when it was in?

Thanks for the reply, I'm using hdmi from the monitor to the motherboard, onboard hdmi, all of this of course without any video card installed.

It's beyond me sorry. Any chance you can get it checked by a pc store or possibly friend?

But if Hdmi cable works with the graphics card? Or is there a different cable involved here?
