[SOLVED] How do I fix disabled GPU drivers with a black screen?

[hhootle]

Hello! First time poster. A few days ago, I was trying to fix a problem I was having with my gpu and monitor, and following an online guide, I disabled my GPU driver in device manager. I have two GPU's in SLI, and I disabled both of them. Of course, my screen immediately went black and did not come back on. I tried turning the desktop off and on, but I still had "no signal" on my monitor. I tried plugging in the DP cable into both GPU's and the I/O panel, but still nothing. So, I went ahead and took the GPU's out of the rig, and plugged into the I/O panel (using the integrated graphics). Finally, I am able to see something. However, when I reinstall the GPU's, I get a black screen again. My question is, how do I fix my error so that when I install my GPU's I dont get a black screen. I don't know of any way to reenable the drivers when the GPU's aren't installed.

My rig:
10900k
MSI MPG Gaming Carbon Wifi
2x GTX 980 in SLI (To be replaced soon)
34gb mem

Thank you in advance!

In BIOS, check to see if there is an option under the Settings Menu to enable on-board/integrated graphics while a discrete card is installed.

If there isn't an option, then you will need to reset BIOS while there is no discrete graphics card installed (Ref: Pg. 48)

Thank you! That did the trick. I didn't realize there was such a setting in BIOS. For others with the same problem with an MPG, it's Advanced>Settings>Advanced>Integrated Graphics Configuration>Initiate Graphic Adapter>IDG. Just have to uninstall the discrete card to get into BIOS first.
