Hi,
I've had my computer for quite som time and the problem between my GPU and intergrated Graphics card (IGC) has been going on all this time. I've tried everything I can find on the internet but the only thing that worked was deactivating the IGC through the device manager. Now, the problem is, as soon as I update windows or any display drivers, the damn computer activates the IGC and I get a black screen. The way to solve this has been to run the computer in safe mode, and deactivate it again. I wonder if there is a way to permanently deactivate the IGC, so it wont be detected anymore by my computer? Some of you may think it's a stupid idea since maybe I need it for future problems. The thing is, IT DOESN'T EVEN WORK. I have tried to disconnect my GPU and update the computer using only the IGC but all I get is a black screen saying "No signal".
I've even tried to remove the drivers but windows automatically downloads it upon restart.

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 770
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz / IGC: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
 
Solution
There is an option in BIOS called IGPU multi-monitor.
Set it to disabled and iGPU will be disabled, when discrete GPU is present in the system.

Depending on your motherboard the setting would look similar to this:
