Hello,
I'm looking for some information about getting the on-board Intel integrated GPU to remain functional on a Z87 Haswell board (being used for crypto-mining) with two nVidia graphics cards also present. A fresh Windows install was successfully done with only the on-board Intel GPU connected to an HDMI connected monitor, and with no video cards connected. Powered off the machine, plugged in the 2x nVidia cards (including 8-pin power cables), and the on-board video now only works for bios setup and for a few seconds during the Windows boot phase where the circling white dots appear. Then the screen blanks out with "no video signal". Switching the HDMI cable to one of the nVidia cards (while the system power is still on) works fine, but since these nVidia cards are only there for crypto-mining, would prefer to instead utilize the on-board Intel GPU, for the HDMI monitor connection.
So: my question is: is this behavior "normal" and occurs the same with all Intel IGPU boards, or is there maybe a bios setting that needs changed?
Thanks in advance.
