First, I'll outline the essential parts:
- Hardware list provided
- System setup completed successfully
- HDMI issues during Windows Update and BIOS use
- Display went black after driver overwrite
- GPU connected via VGA worked fine
- Driver updates and BIOS settings checked
- Still facing installation and driver problems
- Need guidance to resolve the issue before sharing with a friend
If you can reach Windows using the other GPU, consider removing the drivers and installing them again from AMD directly. You might also try it in safe mode.
What graphics card were you using to view the screen? I'm certain the GPU performs better than the integrated one. It might be a motherboard problem or just a driver issue. Please verify the BIOS settings to ensure the integrated graphics are set as the primary display.
The goal here is to avoid using a GPU. It seems unnecessary but I used a GTX 750Ti just to make the display work. I also confirmed in the BIOS that the iGPU was set as primary, and no changes were needed. Thanks for your feedback, I’ll give them a shot.
I resolved the issue by switching to a DVI-D connection rather than HDMI. Ensure your monitor and motherboard support a DVI-D port. Obtain the latest Display Driver Installer from AMD, save it to an external drive, and use it during Windows setup. Set the display output in BIOS to iGFX (iGPU) before restarting. I had to boot Windows from BIOS and change the boot order to USB first since it wouldn’t load properly. Disconnect any unnecessary SSDs and HDDs, and turn off the Ethernet cable if your motherboard has built-in WiFi. Installing the AMD driver directly from the external device should work without conflicts. After restarting, connect your internet and perform Windows Update. This approach avoids driver conflicts and should resolve the problem smoothly.
