Intel driver leaves Win10 unusable (no video signal)

[rogerdv]

A couple of days ago I sold my old video card and Im forced to use the intel integrated video until next month. To improve a bit the framerate I tried to install the official driver for HD 4400, but during install the screen went black, display reports no video signal and thats all. Windows starts, but after the loading screen I just get the usual DVI/VGA scan and then "No video signal".
I will try a VGA cable later, but Im looking for other possible solutions to this problem, can somebody suggest me others?

I am not sure if this is the case :
What kind of monitor are you using ?
With resolution ?
It can be that windows is providing a video signal that is too high in vsync and that the monitor cannot display it.
Would you have another monitor to test with ?


You can try to get into save mode :

Option 6 & 7 might help you get into save mode :

Try option 7 first.

In save mode deinstall the driver.

The intel driver is appropriate for certain hardware . Did you verify your cpu/chipset qualifies ?

My display is Gateway, 21.5" model, and with my previous R7 250 I used full hd resolution without problems. The driver listed Haswell and Broadwell as supported hardware, and my architecture is Haswell.

Did you create a usbstick recovery drive ?

I think the VGA cable will get your display working, and then you can go from there.

I believe if you let Windows pick the driver you will be fine, and your DVI will come back.

Yesterday I tested a VGA cable and it worked. For some reason, when using DVI, Windows cant detect the monitor (but Linux Mint can).
