So I got a VR headset today and while trying to make it work on my pc I did some messing around in the UEFI settings. In my unending wit I accidentally seem to have disabled my GPU because I misread what the setting would do. I am an absolute noob in all matters computer and so am at a loss about what I have to do to make my pc work correctly again. Any help will be welcome.

Try plugging your monitor in a motherboard port instead of the GPU ports.

Note this only works if your CPU has on-board graphics like most Intel chips (non KF variant) or AMD's G series processors.

Or the Mobo has on-board graphics... is that still a thing?

No, integrated grapics now means in the CPU

try the pulling CMOS battery thing (you also need to disconnect power btw), if it doesn't work there should be a CMOS RESET jumper on your motherboard, try shorting that.

Thanks, that helped. I also used the chance to finally clean up the inside of my pc a bit

If you disabled the GPU in the UEFI you'll have to re-enable it in the UEFI.

Pretty sure bro's monitor is plugged into his gpu, cpu/mobo may or may not do video

Don’t you have to start up the pc in bios mode like holding f2 f8 or f10 and change it from there? I’d reinstall the bios from the manufacturers website to default

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
