GPU broke, need assistance to get to onboard graphics.
7 replies, posted
So yesterday my GPU crapped out some awful interesting pixel recreation of vomit while I was in the middle of playing a game. So plugging in anything to the GPU's HDMI or DVI-D port just makes anything on screen look VERY low res and covered in a green pixel mess.
I looked up my CPU the other day and discovered my CPU: the Intel I5-3330 has an onboard GPU, Intel HD 2500.
I want to enable this, I'm currently scouring the manual for any BIOS information on enabling the graphics chip that comes with the CPU. I have not moved around any cables so far, and I'm looking for any steps to take.
My motherboard model is a Bio-star H61S3 there are motherboard manual PDFs floating about on Google, And I've already enabled the "Internal Graphics" setting under the "chipset" category. However I get no signal to my TV when connecting an HDMI cable above the USB ports on the back of the case itself.
Below are camera pics I have taken to show you my chipset settings. Sorry for the ugly pixels that's my GPU being messy.

Set primary display to IGFX, then remove your graphics card if that doesn't help
Monitor display is looking far better than that destroyed mess of a GPU and I didn't need to remove my GPU thank you for your help.
Just make sure to set it back to auto before fitting the new GPU.
I would have left it set to that and just removed the bad card myself.
Sorry to hear that your card died. If you're looking for a decent replacement the AMD RX 580 8GB is a solid card for 1080p, probably a little cheaper than the 1060 (which it matches/beats in most games) and 1660 Ti (which exceeds it a bit but costs far more).
Yeah, I wanted to figure out my last option in case I had to use the integrated. However, someone gave me a slightly newer (but weaker) GPU a long while back, I wanted to just make sure it wasn't just the GPU I had to worry about. The 660 Ti took a boatload of power (2 PCI-E cables compared to my spare which is just 1 PCI-E cable) so I'm not surprised it died 5 years in.
I'm thinking about getting a newer PC anyway, since my motherboard doesn't have extra slots for RAM and are fully taken by the 4GB sticks in there currently. I've been off put by Nvidia and Intel's pricing lately and wanted to try something different on them. However I don't want to spend so much on newer cards when I rarely play very high-end games, so I've had no idea where to start.
The RX 570 4GB is great if you want an entry level card.
I'm guessing from the sounds of it that your PC is an old setup? The RX 580 iirc just uses the single eight-pin PCIe socket.
As for upgrading your PC I think it's possible to pick up a 1600 or even 2600 Ryzen CPU for a relatively decent cost.
