So my Lenovo ideapad S410's AMD GPU is fried and all I see is artifacts all over the screen and I can't see a thing, same thing when plugged into external monitor. The laptop is fine and still booting up normally.

How do I force the laptop to use onboard graphics instead? The GPU is integrated into the motherboard so I can't remove it.

Ok First we need to get in safe mode when you turn on you laptop keep pressing F8 then a menu will pop up use your arrow keys to safe mode and hit enter it gonna load files but when it goes into safe mode it should use the on board video as in vga adapter when you get to the desktop go to device manger when in device manger go to display adapter and it should show two graphics card name right click on the Graphics card you want to disable and click disable after restart your computer and start windows normally and it should work.
NOTE: If you can't even see the safe mode menu because of the fried gpu then you need to take it some where to get fix because their no other way.
