no I didn't know: ( the IGFX is dead... very rare, usually it's the dedicated card that fails) and before changing the CPU ( I have the tools to desolder / resolder the cpu but it's always risky to change a BGA CPU and I only have an i5 to replace it instead of an i7 ) I saw in the hidden options that you can switch the main screen to PEG ( pci express graphic I think ) so I really wanted to try to test the different options in the hidden settings before touching the CPU. Can you still unlock this whole section for me? I'm thinking of disabling the IGFX and unsoldering the power coil to totally disable the INTEL card, this is my last chance before putting the motherboard on the BGA station ><
