Help, I disabled my on board graphics processor.

I have a homemade computer that has been running fine for over six months. I use the computer for just normally daily uses such as music, videos, and games. Recently I had to move. Prior to moving I my computer was handling everything just fine, a few days after the move I finally got my computer back up and running again and attempted to play Skyrim, the game ran at incredibly low framerates even on the lowest of settings. It took me only a short period of time to realize that my computer was running my on board graphics processor instead of my GTX 680. I opened up the NVIDIA control panel but couldn't get my computer to switch over there so I headed to the control panel. There I decided to do something stupid and try to take a shortcut, I disabled my on board graphics with the thought that my GPU would be the new default graphics processor, I was wrong. My display went out and I was unable to turn it back on. My friend who is far better at these things told me to reset my BIOS which I did both with a standard reset, then again by taking out the battery. This hasn't changed anything and I have no display whatsoever. How can I turn on any display so that I can change my settings?

Where do you have the monitor plugged in? The onboard, or the discrete GPU? What ever you have it plugged into is what it is using. In other words, if you had it plugged into GPU, that is what it was using. It could not be using the onboard video if you did not have the monitor plugged into the onboard video port. If you need to reset your BIOS, there will be a jumper on the board, or a button to push for that, consult your motherboard manual.

You sir are a genius. I am a total idiot. I completely had it plugged into the wrong one. You are a lifesaver.
