M17X R3 Black Screen 6 Beeps
Hey guys, I'm trying to salvage my alienware m17x atm. I think my GTX460M is dead since it's giving me the 6 beeps on startup. Tried to reseat everything and still doesn't work. Occasionally, it turned on for several minutes but not for long. Here's my question, is there any way i can just switch to integrated graphic without using my fried Nvidia gpu so i wont face this problem again? The thing is, i couldn't find a way to activate my integrated graphic since its not detected in the BIOS and the FN + F6 doesn't do sh*t. Cheers!

Hi,
Enter the BIOS and try loading the BIOS defaults F9 and removing the 460m.
Let me know!

Hi Eimy,
Thanks for the reply.
I've tried to apply the BIOS defaults but it always reverted back to the previous setting.
My laptop seems to restart twice after trying to load the default setting
I noticed a thing which is the primary display changing from PEG to SG (when loading BIOS defaults) but reverted back to PEG again after restarting which means it won't load the BIOS default.
This might be related to the integrated disappearance.
Anything I should do to fix this?
Cheers!

I forgot to mention, when I tried to remove my graphic card after the reset, it gives me blank screen (but not black screen, so the screen is not totally dead unlike the total dead screen from before) but with the same 6 beeps
