Cannot enable integrated graphics after installing a PCI Express graphics card.
Cause
Solution
On systems with Intel integrated graphics, the integrated
graphics cannot be enabled after installing a PCI Express x16.
The integrated graphics can be enabled in Computer Setup if
a PCI or PCI Express x1 graphics card is installed, but it cannot
be enabled if there is a graphics card in the PCI Express x16
slot.
On systems with AMD integrated graphics, the integrated
graphics can be enabled in Computer Setup only if an AMD
PCI Express x16 graphics card is installed.
On systems with AMD integrated graphics, install an AMD PCI
Express x16 graphics card and enable the integrated graphics
in Computer Setup.
