Question Onboard video - screen goes black after driver install

[learningknight]

I have an ASUS Prime Z390-A motherboard and an Intel Core i9-9900K CPU. I'm waiting for a new GPU to arrive, and in the meantime, am using onboard video. I'm running Windows 10.

The issue is that when I install the official drivers downloaded from the ASUS website (an intel driver), for onboard graphics, the screen goes black. When I restart my machine, I have graphics until windows loads-- at which point, everything is black. I have the same issue if I allow windows to search for and install the driver automatically.

I can recover from this state from starting my machine in safemode (video works in safemode) and disabling the display adapter (which I believe causes it to fall back on the generic video driver).

Does anyone know what's happening here? I would prefer to use the official onboard video driver, as I think it may improve performance somewhat.

Try downloading them from here instead.

Thank you for your quick reply. However, installing those drivers causes the exact same problem. As soon as the drivers install, the screen goes black.

I have noticed that if I connect it to an HDMI display (my TV in this case) it will work with the drivers. However, connected to my Acer XB270HU monitor via displayport, it will not actually work.

Never heard of such a thing.
