How to turn on integrated gpu

How to turn on integrated graphics chip in bios?
Im getting no signal msg when i turn on my pc even tho my gpu fans are spinning so i wanted to check if the pc would boot up with igpu..

What CPU do you have? Assuming there is an iGP, remove the GPU from the system and connect to the outputs on the motherboard itself.

You could simply connect to the motherboard itself, without removing the GPU as, if it's not detecting the GPU, the iGP should just *work* - but that's not always the case.

The iGP (if present) should be able to be enabled/disabled in the BIOS - but exactly how/where, will depend on the motherboard you have.

Please post your full system spec.

if you remove the gpu and then boot it up, the pc should default back to the igp when it does not find the gpu.

simplest way

Is this the system?

no igpu from the cpu, but might have it on the motherboard, what is the model of the motherboard?

you may have to use the clear cmos if it an older mb to turn on ipgpu.

Yeah thats the system.. I tried every pcie, peg, pgd and IGD setting from bios and when i choose IGD it shuts down my pc, reboots it but this time doesnt even load the mobo picure thus not letting me enter the bios and change it.. Only thing i can do is clear cmos and then boot again..

No iGP on an x5460..... your motherboard may have some form of onboard built-in, but I wouldn't bet on it.

If you're getting "no signal" from the 270X but previously did..... I'd be inclined to look to that PSU as a potential culprit.

Mobo is smth like" p5kl am in roem si" from asus

This one?
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5KPLAM/

Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (Intel® GMA 3100)

So there is onboard...... BUT, given you'd need to mod to get a 771 Xeon to work on a 775 board.... I wouldn't bank on the GMA3100 remaining active throughout.

Yeah that one..i used to run my old intel celeron e3400 with igpu and then bought r9 270x and after some time the x5460..

 

[srdjandjokic097]

The cpu came modded, i didnt have to cut the little pieces from the cpu socket but had to flash my bios in order for xeon to work.. The thing is, i don't have access to a spare psu for testing and doubt i could find one to borrow since i live in a small city and people still use 200w psu haha..

 

[Barty1884]

Whether the CPU was modded by you, or someone else doesn't matter.

The motherboard doesn't natively support it - so there's no guarantee of all functionality when it's installed.
The onboard graphics may or may not work with a Xeon installed...... You cannot assume it'll just "work" when you enable the iGP (it might, but there's no way to know for sure).

As far as PSUs go..... I'd suggest looking to replace it. Chances are pretty good it's the culprit.... and you should really replace it anyway.

Okay i'll see if i can get another psu.. Thanks a lot
