Using Integrated graphics instead of a GPU

[Jerrymaier]

My graphic card (R7 260X) has been giving this "graphic card has stopped working and recovered" for about a year. I have tried everything from using regedit to deleting my drivers and installing them back again but no use. Since my CPU is AMD A8 6600K, it has its own integrated graphic so I'm thinking of using that instead of my GPU. My GPU is still connected to the motherboard, do i have to unplug it? Does my CPU integrated graphics needs its own power supply. I've tried going into the BIOS and changing the graphic selection from PCIe to integrated graphics but still having the "graphics has stopped working" issue. Any help? Thanks.

Try unplugging the power cords from the card, pc powered off.

Do what you did in the BIOS again - change the graphic to integrated, shut down your PC, plug your monitor into the motherboard video ports instead of GPU, then start the system again.

You may have to remove the R7 to enable the integrated graphics to kick in.
