does windows actually make another virtual display? can you accidently move your mouse onto a screen that isn't there? if not, and it's not hurting anything, i'd ignore it. no need to reinstall windows when you might just have a minor driver issue. 

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

i would make sure the drivers are up to date of course.

i'd also look in your BIOS settings to see if you can disable the onboard graphics.

you're using a GPU right? there won't be any issue if you diable the onboard graphics, you just won't be able to use the HDMI/VGA on the Motherboard's I/O panel.

the true magic/treasure is the friendship you made along the way. so that you can borrow a GPU to get your machine working for a short term. 

 

or just pop off the little coin battery on the motherboard and put it back in after 30 seconds to reset your CMOS/ BIOS
