I disabled my Nvidia Geforce GT610 graphics card accidentally and now I can't see a thing

[finnly]

So I uninstalled my graphics card so I can put my new one in. I seem to have misplaced the installation disc. Do I have to get a new graphics card or just buy a nwe disc

Go to Nvidia.com and download the latest driver. The driver disc's are useless as they contain outdated drivers.

Neither, go to the NVIDIA website, and download the latest driver for u'r video card.

Like I said, built-in (onboard) gpu doesn't give me any display on the screen either. Also, I can't perform a system restore if I can't see a damn thing.

I did the exact same thing that you did except I disabled my dedicated GTX 660 through windows device manager. I found that physically removing my 660 from my PC and then booting without it and with my monitor plugged into the integrated would allow me to finally see stuff (I am using my PC right now) however, if I put it back in, I don't see anything. I don't have a full fix yet, but just know that you are not alone.

If the above works, try booting Linux from a Flash dive or disc. I haven't tried this myself yet, but from past experiences Linux might let you do something.

Now I was having an issue when using my 660, so I wanted to see if they would happen with my integrated as well, and then I disabled my 660 so that I could test that out, but when I rebooted, my monitor remained black.

This is SO stupid. I did the same damn thing trying to setup a dual monitor display on my laptop. The external monitor wasn't displaying (first time doing this) so I unchecked the laptop one to try and force it over..... yeah didn't work. The ONLY way now the laptop screen even comes back on (luckily) is if the external monitor is not plugged in!

There is NO way to get the option back of the two monitors EVER. I removed ALL nvidia software, from EVERYWHERE on the machine, even hidden files and in the registry then did a CLEAN install option from Nvidia and STILL does not work.

This is poor form on Nvidia's part not to have a reset to defaults option in the multiple display driver area to rectify this and to have it so hardcore encoded that even a driver reinstall doesn't fix it.

Don't tell me I have to reinstall windows just to fix this? If so this is the last Nvidia card I will buy, people go on saying Nvidia drivers are awesome, BS.

Hopefully this will work.for you what I did was I removed all cables mouse etc.then removed the battery then hold the power button for 90secs then put everything back and it gave me options which I choose to refresh my pc although it is a little weird now but at least it's working
