Hi guys. I recently attempted to install a friend's graphics card on my PC that has been using integrated graphics for two years. It’s not working properly. The GPU is getting hot, but it doesn’t display anything until I connect my monitor cable to the motherboard—something unusual. I’m thinking about buying a new GPU and don’t know what steps to take if I run into issues again. Is there anything specific I need to do in the BIOS or system settings? (Windows 10)

You should find an option labeled "primary" or "main" display setting in the BIOS.

Review your BIOS options, as enabling a specific setting might be required. An older Z170 I worked on last week needed this adjustment for the GPU to function properly. What hardware are you using?

You might need to access BIOS, turn off the built-in GPU or switch it to PCIe for graphics output.
