I would try going into the bios if you can access it to see if the discrete gpu is set to default and use your igpu to uninstall existing graphics drivers and try to reinstall with your gpu plugged in: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/GPU57RemoveOldGraphicsDrivers.aspx

Tried using a different output method? (DVI/Displayport) Are you sure that your monitor and/or gpu are working by testing them on a different computer?
