[SOLVED] No signal when gpu plugged in despite using integrated graphics

[paulszubert]

I've recently tried reviving a gpu i had laying around and thought I made some progress, it had an error 43 so I looked up some things about it, it seemed that the most effective method i saw was to reflash the gpu so I did that and I'm sure I followed the right steps/ used the right bios so I'm somewhat comfortable dismissing that as the issue.

I was able to boot up from integrated graphics before flashing the gpu, but now it just says no signal whether the display port is plugged into the gpu or motherboard. I'm kinda left scratching my head cause this issue is nothing like anything i came across.
some more small details i can spare; before the flash, the fans used to stop spinning a few second after booting up and now after the flash they spin constantly which I at first sight I thought was a good thing, now I'm not so sure.

PC runs perfectly fine when the card is taken out so its safe to assume that its entirely the gpu that is the issue.
I've also made sure to use integrated graphic by default in the bios so its strange that the gpu is interfering with the signal

My best bet or theory is that the card is somehow conflicting with the on-board graphics not sure how that's possible though, but I really have no other logical explanation for it.

any help or insight is appreciated!

specs:
GPU: gtx 1060 3bg
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-H110-D3A
RAM: ddr4 4gb
CPU: Pentium G4400

Aside from a VERY few circumstances, there is realistically practically zero chance of "reviving" a graphics card if it's dead. It was dead then, then it's still likely dead now, and I've never encountered ANY situation where "flashing" a graphics card caused a card that was dead to suddenly not be dead.

Your assumption that the graphics card is the issue holds water and is the MOST likely answer to your question. As to "conflicting with the on-board graphics", no, never seen anything even vaguely relevant to that kind of situation. They are literally entirely different things that have no real way in which to conflict with each other.

I'd try the graphics card in another system, and if you get the same result then it's pretty obviously just a faulty graphics card. You may want to try a different/better power supply, depending on what you have now, as it's pretty common for integrated graphics to work fine but not be able to run a discreet graphics card when a weak or low quality power supply is in play.

'preciate the reply, as to the gpu, I wouldn't say its dead per say just that it had issues in the past that led me to throwing it aside. Given that the fans are still working gives me faith that something can still be done to fix. as for the power supply, i've got an corsair RM1000x (1000w) which is brand new so i can safely cross that off of the list.

just to clarify im trying to boot up from the integrated graphics whilst the gpu is plugged in, all the connectors are nice and tight, so im honestly baffled as to what are the possible reasons for the gpu to prevent the on-board graphics from providing a signal? its so strange.

Many boards won't, ever, allow you to use the iGPU if there is a PCI/PEG graphics adapter currently installed UNLESS you have it set for multi graphics output in the BIOS settings, IF your BIOS even has that setting present. You'll have to be in the advanced view of the BIOS. EZ type views won't show these settings. Not sure where exactly it can be found on your board but usually it's fairly easy to find if you search through your BIOS settings.

Remove the graphics card, power on and enter the BIOS, find and set that setting, then save settings, shut down, install the graphics card and continue on from there.

Keep in mind though, if the graphics card has ANY problems that keep it from working normally, you are probably never going to get it to display with it installed even with your display connected to the motherboard.
