You might be able to fix this by unplugging your PC and then removing the CMOS battery and then pressing the power button for 30 seconds. Wait 2 more minutes then replace the CMOS battery. This might fix it.

From the sounds of it you have a CPU with a iGPU in it and a dedicated GPU. IF this is the case swap the display cable to the motherboard display output and you will be able to see to change it in the BIOS again.

When I posted I assumed that the OP does not have a separate GPU. Now I wonder.

IGD= Integrated Graphics Device. This is only present when the CPU or (older) Motherboard has a Integrated GPU.

Exactly, that is why I never thought that the OP had an add on GPU.

I'll take you through my deductive reasoning on how I came to teh conclusion that there are more than 1 GPU in the machine:
1. IGD is present
2. Changed setting to IGD.
3. Lost display. This means that there is a dedicated GPU installed.

So the simple fix is to swap the cable then swap it back after the change. While your suggestion will work by setting ALL BIOS settings to default this is not a sure fire immediate fix if there is a dedicated GPU because there are times at default the system will only have a display signal from the IGD in default configuration. This could still force the need to change the cable.

This is just my way of figuring out the issue.

this isn't seems helpful.

Take your display cable out of the graphics card below the mother board, and instead put it into which ever port you use on the mother board (vga, hdmi dvi etc), you should then have the display on your monitor. Then go back to the setting you changed " primary display" back to auto and plug the display cable back into the graphics card

Someone understood. lol This was explained in an earlier post of mine.

I did see, i tried to quote you and repost it so they would read it but i cant find how to quote

 

[Othest_1337]

thanks! none of your answers worked. but i've finally managed to fix my computer!

Would you be so kind to share what when wrong for those that may have the same issue?
