I am going to tell you a story.
A story about love, and war.
Once upon a time, I think like 3 months ago, I have posted some screenshots about my PC going completely apestuff ever since the BIOS.
The gallery shalt be found in this page
http://1drv.ms/1rz3zxqAlbeit from that date, the same thing happened 3 times thus far, with 4th yesterday to today.
Yesterday, while playing Blockland and doing other things, SHABAM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTmhtHCbsvULast times it simply got fixed by itself by leaving the PC off unplugged overnight (???). That did not fix it today, though.
No, today was different.
Today it has simply refused me to get into the log-in screen.
Boot was fine, then shabam, artifacts all over the place on the log-in screen.
What's the logical thing to do? Well go to safe mode, and remove the drivers of course. And that's what I did, and it was fine. And then I installed them again. And again, I had gotten the problems.
And so, I spent about 1 hour tinkering, cleaning and twisting the forget out of the 2x6 Pin connectors to my GPU hoping for a shining light, but to no avail.
And then, a sparkling idea of going to the Integrated GPU was brought into my head! What a brilliant idea! I could at least go and browse my casual, friendly, innocent and domestic websites that we're all accommodated with! And maybe play some Minesweeper.
And so I did, I simply plugged the VGA cord next to the DVI one. (VGA connected to Integrated GPU, DVI connected to Dedicated GPU) since the Dedicated worked during Boot and BIOS. Thus I went into the BIOS configuration and switched the North Bridge to shall start with the Integrated GPU.
Switched my monitor to the VGA and I restarted. It obviously worked as far the boot goes, as I was on the Integrated GPU which should have not have any issues at all! But... During the login screen, something mystical, something magical and stupid happened.
The log-in screen was black during the VGA setting. I switched the connection on the monitor again to the DVI, which is my Dedicated, and it works up to this point of me posting this with no artifacts, despite in BIOS the Integrated being set as the main GPU.Can someone please tell me what in the forget happened?
