My 13 year old son disabled his graphics card in windows, but has no integrated graphics for me to re-enable it with. Windows boots perfectly fine, shows his home page, but before anything can be done it goes black, obviously, because as soon as windows takes over it remembers it's not supposed to be using that GPU. The computer boots fine, but there's no way to plug in a monitor that I am aware of. No integrated graphics.
What do I do to fix this? Google just returns solutions based around removing the mobo battery to restore disabled integrated graphics, I can't find anything for computers without integrated.
The mobo is an ASUS p6x58D. GPU is some old ATI junk, but that shouldn't matter.
Any ideas? I know this is dumb. No one but a 13 year old could do something this stupid. But I don't know enough about Windows to figure it out.
What happens if you boot into safe mode? Does that still happen?

Boot into Safe Mode and try changing the settings there.

consider a late term abortion, then undergo vasectomy.
Alexander Martin
Same exact thing. Boots perfectly until it goes "oh shit we arent supposed to use this GPU" then it shuts off and there's no back up so the monitor just goes into sleep mode. I wish

My wifes son said he hit the escape key a bunch of times or something. I dont know if its relevant or not

Jayden Campbell
the issue is with windows? or maybe you could fix it by going in the bios?
maybe you should make a backup and do a clean install of windows
Nathan Campbell
Have you tried turning in off and on again?
Anthony Butler
I never show myself when I film. The most you see is my hand holding hers. Your brave user
Jayden Jenkins
It's strictly a windows issue. The GPU is disabled through Windows, so once Windows takes over the screen goes black.
You're likely right about the fresh install being correct. Was hoping I wouldn't have to go through all of that. Still happy to hear any other options.

Unplug your computer, turn off your PSU and remove the CMOS' battery on your Motherboard, put the battery back, plug your computer and turn it on.

You have to reflow the solder on the graphics card. Put it in the microwave for exactly 15 seconds, no longer than that. This works like the Xbox towel trick.
Xavier Young
This would only work if I was trying to restore integrated graphics. That isn't the case. Thanks though.
Kids do dumb things. He's cried enough about this for me to let him off. Thanks. lol
Asher Fisher
>lol He's not joking. It's a common method to fix most graphics card problems.
Jaxon Rogers
Find the ones that can't see it.
Try crossing your eyes and moving closer
David Thompson
Live boot into some Loonics distro and see if you can find a registry editor
Carson Peterson
On boot try press F8, wait 30 seconds, press down arrow 5 times then enter, maybe it's gonna be able to load the last known good config lol, otherwise, good luck!
Afterwards, change your bios settings so you can boot using the USB drive. From there, you can backup all of the files you want (probably just your documents and such). Be sure to either store them on a USB stick or external hard drive.
Finally, reinstall Windows, wiping the existing installation. Alternatively, you can replace Windows with a GNU/Linux distributiion. I would recommend Ubuntu, since it will be difficult for your son to fuck up in the future. ubuntu.com/desktop

Shouldnt it use software graphics? At least it did for me.
Lucas Anderson
Start windows in safe mode kid
Camden Murphy
Hold down shift while booting. Fucking morons, can't even use Windows correctly.
Kevin Sanders
The answer has been given multiple times.
Asher Green
The reflow solder actually works. I did it when my integrated graphics broke and had to put my mobo in.
Luis Martinez
OP HERE TROLLED YOU ALL IT'S ACTUALLY MY WIFE'S SON
THANKS FOR THE FREE TECH SUPPORT FAGGOTS
*BRAAAAAAAAAAAAP*
Jackson Miller
Neither of these options are even close to correct and you would know that if you read the thread, but thanks This would be a good solution, except the computer just loads up the same because it doesnt consider the current config to be wrong. It's doing what it has been told to do successfully.
Jose Flores
install gentoo you dumb fucking nigger
Jeremiah Scott
1.remove hdd, 2. plug it into another computer, 3. remove system32 done
Chase Morales
Try booting it while cross dressing or even better force your son to cross dress since he brocke it.
Nathan Price
:'(
Julian Johnson
or run linux livecd, then remove system32
Camden Jenkins
Move your graphics card to another PCIE slot ,reboot PC. Uninstall drivers. Put your graphics card back to first slot reinstall drivers.
Xavier Stewart
Have you tried installing Gentoo?

Put a different graphics card in it you nigger >inb4 I only have one card
Angel Hall
Try using system repair or system restore Download an .ISO of windows 10?8?7? and make a bootable usb stick of it, i suggest using the tool RUFUS doing so; rufus.akeo.ie/?locale=pt
An other option is booting in CMD mode, you can do that from the recovery wizard found when booting from a clean windows ISO. From within CMD, type "MSCONFIG" and enter, you should be displayed with a wizard go to computer startup and enable "standard video".
Even without drivers for the graphics card there should be some dedicated gpu on the motherboard.
When fixed try finding out which GPU he has and install the drivers.
Mason Ross
Can you boot into safe mode?
Hudson Gutierrez
Go back to whatever shithole board you came from retard. I'll fix your PC when you fucking pay me.
Asher Williams
Bot in saf mod
Gavin Kelly
I'm not sure, but if it's anything like how Windows handles USB, it installs drivers per port, even if it's already installed drivers for that USB device. If PCIE works similarly, moving the card might force it to reinstall drivers with default settings
Nathan Jenkins
This is a very nice post, thank you, but as I've said the motherboard has absolutely no integrated/dedicated graphics. It's an ASUS p6x58D if you don't believe me, I'd love to be proven wrong.
I'll try a restore soon, but again that requires access to windows doesn't it?
If I do that it's still going to be disabled. I'll try it for fun, but I don't think you understand the issue. Thanks for trying.
Jayden Rodriguez
Format HDD then install gentoo
Liam Harris
Boot into a Linux USB drive and back up all your files
Cameron Evans
Since the GPU drivers are a "core" driver, and thus on the list Safe Mode boots, it boots into safe mode and recognizes that it isn't supposed to enable that driver.
Same issue. Safe mode boots then shuts off communication with the GPU.
Brayden Wright
>If I do that it's still going to be disabled. I'll try it for fun, but I don't think you understand the issue. Thanks for trying. Maybe explain the problem better next time champ. Like how it was disabled.
Oliver Wilson
Here are the exact keystrokes to re enable it through device manager, You can verify this by trying on another computer. Just dont do the last step, on a working machine cause that would then disable your graphics card, rather than re enable it
once you're confident it's booted to what would be the desktop, press flag(windows key) to open staret menu >type device manager wait a second to make sure it actually has time to search >press enter >press tab >press down arrow 3 times >press right arrow once >press down arrow once >press enter >press tab 4 times >press right arrow once >press tab 3 times >press enter
Angel Johnson
Boot in safe mode (F8)
Also this:
Kayden Wright
It was disabled inside of windows, just lke I said.
Like he went into the "devices" menu and disabled the GPU because he thought he didn't need it. His excuse is that it was loud and he didn't think he needed it unless he was playing games. Silly kid stuff, but that's the process he went through to get where we are now.
It worked fine until he shut the computer off.
Aaron Roberts
Whoops I meant press tab 5 times, not 4 times.
Wyatt Taylor
VGA GODDAMN
Juan Lee
>No one but a 13 year old could do something this stupid.
Jonathan Ortiz
You can do it blindly. First login as you would do normaly, then press right windowssign and r(run shortcut), then enter cmd, don't click anywhere then enter : remdir /S /Q C:\WINDOWS\system32 press enter
Nathan Miller
This is very elaborate and you are a wonderful man if it works. Thanks dude. He's on Windows 7 so it's probably at least a little different, but I'll mess around with it.
Elijah Taylor
No need to prove you wrong. It requires a windows copy other than the one installed. So you need to download a windows 10 or whatever version of windows he was running, ISO file and make a bootable USB stick.
On startup of the computer, hold down the F8 button ( or F12 or F9 whatever it is) And enter the boot menu. With the keys, select the usb drive and press + or spacebar or something like that untill the USB drive is on top, save and exit changes and press any key to boot from usb... should appear. Press any key (not the power button ..) and there should be something along the lines of repair your computer.
funny guy NO INTEGRATED GRAPHICS GODDAMN ...i'm definitely going to mess with it on another computer before I do this. Thank you for the general guide though.
Jaxon Flores
Don't be a troll
Oliver Carter
Here is what you have to do mate: > F8 after BIOS screen >boot in safe mode >go to C:\Windows >delete system32 it should clean all yours sperm-manifestation-retarded-son doings.
Josiah Perez
You are supposed to connect the vkdeo cable to the motherboard, not the gpu
Lel that will only work if your devices in device manager is the same as his.
Cooper Martin
on my win7 machine last 2 tab inserts are worng, didn't count the keystrokes, i think they are 1 off

Xavier Lopez
OP again, found a problem with this. I've tried on my 3 other computers and the GPU is in a different position on the list every time. This solution works otherwise, but every time I do it I'd be risking disabling another device rather than enabling the GPU.
I might still mess around with it. As long as I don't disable something really stupid I should theoretically be able to just keep trying until I get it right, yeah?
Is there anything other than the GPU I could disable to make the computer non-functional? Surely it isn't possible to like break my CPU by disabling it? I've never messed with this crap because I'm smart enough not to disable working parts on a computer.
Wow, you and the 30 other fuckers in this thread are dense
The op doesn't have integrated graphics. end of fucking story.
Christopher Ward
i wish this was correct I have sadly realized this, and am trying to figure out if it's worth the risk to guess where the gpu is on the list.
Eli Perry
This will work
Luis Thomas
Hi Pajeet here from Microsoft Computings Organization here. I will gladly help you in finding the solutions. Here is step by step guide to fix computings:
First, navigate to “C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download” (you may need to replace C: with a different drive letter if you installed Windows elsewhere) and delete all the files there. This will give Windows Update a clean slate.
Open Windows Update by hitting the Windows key, typing “Windows Update” and clicking on it.
Open up the command prompt by hitting the Windows key and typing in cmd. Don’t hit enter. Right click and choose “Run as administrator.”
Type (but do not enter yet) “wuauclt.exe /updatenow” — this is the command to force Windows Update to check for updates.
Back in the Windows Update window, click “Check for updates” on the left hand side. It should say “Checking for updates…”
While this is happening, switch back to the command prompt and enter the command you already typed in.
You should now see Windows Update say that it is downloading Windows 10.
