Thank you for your reply.
Here is the issue I'm trying to fix; the intel GPU seams to be dead; I have tried many things to fix it, but with no luck; the end result is always the same. Basically, every time I install the intel GPU driver, old or new, I get a black screen, and after a minute or so a BSOD (video tdr failure igdkmd64.sys). And after that, every boot goes straight to BSOD if not instant freeze. I have tried many drivers, clean windows installation, etc etc, and at this point I'm pretty sure its a hardware issue. Also tried to reflow the CPU with no luck. I'm convinced it's an internal issue with the CPU.
If I disable/uninstall the intel driver, the computer works fine; the nvidia GPU work fine, games run fine; everything seams to work fine as long as the intel GPU is not "present".
So, my idea was with the bios mod, was to permanently try to disable the intel GPU in a way that windows would not see it at all; as this is a client's computer, and inevitably something or someone will try to either enable the intel GPU or update its drivers, etc etc...and kill the computer again.
As for the bios mistakes, clear CMOS, or try bios mods, I'm ok with that; I can easily clear CMOS, and I have SPI programmer, so I can easily flash any bios on it. No worries.
So, do you think there's any hope we can try some bios mods? Or will be guarantied a backscreen every time?
Thanks for the help.
