I was messing around with the video display (can’t remember exactly what it is called) settings in BIOS. I changed it to something like INT Graphics. I saved the change and rebooted. The problem is that I get nothing on the screen when it boots. I hear the beeps and everything looks fine, just no display. I’ve tried plugging into my motherboard’s display ports and the display ports in my graphics card. Removed graphics card, etc. Nothing gets a picture.
Tried to resent BIOS with the jumper. Also removed the CMOS battery. No change. I can’t go into the BIOS menu because I can’t see anything on a display. I’m concerned that I’ve bricked my motherboard, and will need to get a new one. Anyone have any ideas before I do that?
INT Graphics should have been internal graphics which should have worked with the motherboard’s graphics ports unless you happen to be using a DVI to VGA adapter which only works on DVI-I ports and not on DVI-D ports which do not support the feature.
Is is possible that you changed the settings from PCIe 16X to plain old PCI? This would require a PCI graphics card to get any signal. Of course, the reset should have changed it back to factory defaults as far as the graphics are concerned so after that, one or the other of the graphics ports should be supported.
Last thought: If you are using display port or HDMI ports, try the VGA or DVI ports to see if that makes a difference.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
