Unable to reach Windows, but can access BIOS via the motherboard graphics.

It’s a Dell XPS 8910 with an I7-6700k CPU, NVIDIA GTX 1070 GPU, 16GB RAM, running Windows 10 Home. I’m facing a problem where the HDMI port on the motherboard won’t let me boot to Windows, though I can access the BIOS without issues. Using the GPU’s HDMI works perfectly. I’ve checked the BIOS settings for onboard graphics but found none. After loading the DELL screen, it displays black (not a black screen). Help would be greatly appreciated!

You might choose the Intel iGPU for its efficiency and integration with your system, offering smooth performance without needing a dedicated graphics card.

Have you attempted pressing f2 when the PC powers on (before the Dell logo appears)? It may need to be pressed several times.

It opens the BIOS, but there isn’t an option to turn on the built-in graphics display.

Since I'm updating the setup, I'm planning to resell the GPU.

First, detach the GPU. Once removed, you'll be able to use the iGPU without any problems.

No, I haven't cleared all the GPU drivers prior to removing the GPU.
