so when i play games i use my gpu and when im not home or watching videos i mine crypto with it

so my issues are here
-if i start the PC with the DP cable in the GPU, the integrated graphics dont want to output a picture(unless i turn off the PC or put it to sleep)
-if i start up the PC with the DP cable in the motherboard and when i connect the cable to the GPU for when i want to play games, i get massive stutters

is there a way to not turn on and off the PC ?(basically i just want to switch the cables for ease of life)

my setting in the bios are: Integrated graphics are ON, preffed GPU is set to PCIE
 
Generally when you start the system, it will use whatever output is plugged in. When you run the GPU on start, the iGPU is often disabled. Sometimes the iGPU is disabled by there mere presence of a GPU being installed, which is not the case for you it seems. I do not know of a way to make them both be ran at the same time, so you can switch cables while the system is running. However, watching video from YouTube will put a near zero load on the GPU. Have you actually checked to see how much/if your mining performance decreases while using the GPU to watch video still? It may be worth it to just leave the GPU powering the monitor all the time.

i use the integrated graphics just becouse i lose atleast 10mh/s when fussing around with random things(youtube, work, etc) ... but if there is no way ill just restart my system
