[SOLVED] GPU recognized but pc running on chipset gpu

[Rayurebob]

Hi, and thank you in advance for the time you'll take to answer. I apologize in advance if i sound like a noob, but the thing is, i am one. Sorry

A few days ago my pc made sope kind of fatal error i've never seen, both my screen stopped displaying windows but showed some weird colored pattern instead.

I had to reinstall windows after that, but now there are 2 vertical colored bars running on each screen at the same place on each screen.

I know it's not the screens because I ckecked with another device, and it worked fine.

Apparentely, the graphic card is recognized in the bios but the computer is still rendering through the chipset GPU, according to windows' device manager.

As a side note i didn't know this would be possible even though i plugged both screens on the GPU.

Kindly provide PC specs.

-1. "Complete" system specs should ALWAYS be accompanied with any driver, hardware, or performance question. Do not post DXDiag reports as they contain a TON of useless information. Posting a DxDiag in place of a System Spec List tends to ward off potential members from helping you.

Please supply the following system details/information:

(Complete System Specs)
-CPU make and model# (clock speed/voltage, type of cooler, and "Core" temperature @ idle and load)
-Motherboard make & model# (include Bios version if graphics card is not recognized or you are having stability issues)
-RAM (amount, clock speed, model#/link of kit, configuration)
-Graphics card(s) make and model# (clock speed, voltage if modified, Driver version and GPU temp both @ idle and load)
-Power supply make,model#, "AND" age (note if using 110V or 220V A/C input)
-HDD/SSD configuration (ie: Raid setup/ back up/ OS drive/etc..)
-Case/Chasis make,model# (fan make, model#, and configuration if having thermal issues)
-Operating System (If using Windows note Framework and service pack version)
-Monitor make, model#, and resolution (If model# is unknown list resolution and refresh rate)

*If the unit is a "laptop" or "All-in-one" system you must note the make and model# of the unit. Be sure you are ALWAYS using the OEM/manufacturer's Driver updates for the unit.

*If "Crashing":
-Note the nature of the "crash" in detail, as there are several definitions for the word "crash".

*If "performance" related issue:
-Note the "exact" point in which the performance reduction occurred (ie: After Windows update, After Bios update, After Driver update, After thermal system shutdown, After Hardware change/upgrade etc...)

*For diagnostic purposes please disable the following:
-Any/all Antivirus/ Anti-malware software
-Any/all OSD monitoring software
-ALL overclocks outside of factory spec .

Where are the monitors attached?
If they are attached to the gpu, the gpu is doing the work.
If they are attached to the motherboard, the integrated graphics is doing the work.

If this is a laptop with a discrete gpu then the laptop software will direct which adapter does the work.
By default a laptop uses integrated on battery, discrete when plugged in.
