Hello, I am about to return my MSI R9 280X because of coil whine. The problem is that when i shut down, remove and plug in my wire on the motherboard the PC will simply show me the old windows loading bad (without a logo) followed by a black screen, not able to view BIOS without the dedicated graphics card. So far i have tried clearing CMOS, change bios setting to IGFX and even tried lowering the resolution(as if that would help). I've updated the intel graphics drivers and even removed the AMD ones. I am always able to boot up by using the graphics card but i will be returning it tomorrow. Any kind help or advice is welcome, thank you for your time.

 

Monitor: Crossover 27QW(1440p)

Motherboard: GA-Z87-HD3

CPU: 4670K

have you tried removing the card fully and then booting it up? you also need to move the display cable to the motherboard instead of the card when you test this.
if you still have coil whine its not the GPU and most likely the PSU

yes i have tried removing it fully multiple times and plugged the cable to the motherboard(tried DVI-D and hdmi-dvi). I also considered it been the PSU but i bought a new one and the whine continued. The problem is not the whine, its that the integrated graphics wont work for some unknown reason.

If I'm not mistaken the board has 2bioses, correct? Try switching into the 2nd one and see what happens. I had the same problem on my board and that fixed it. If that doesn't work, your monitor may be the issue. I also own the catleap (same monitor really)and recall it not working in situations like these. Try another monitor

Finally my Santa hat doesn't look out of place

I don't think the motherboard allows the user to choose which bios to be used, its some kind of automatic system. Something i should add is that the computer booted up with some kind of Microsoft adaptor at extremely low resolution without colours. When the graphics card is connected the integrated graphics are recognised, but for some reason when the graphics card is not connected the integrated graphics are not recognised by the pc.
