    Stuck in safe mode with black monitor

    For context; The other day I was attempting to re-download my drivers. I booted my PC in safe mode through msconfig, meaning Iโ€™m a loop of booting it in safe mode. So, now that thatโ€™s out of the way.
    Whenever my PC boots, everything turns on like itโ€™s supposed to, except my monitor. It doesnโ€™t show any signs of life. Iโ€™ve tried swapping monitors and cables but nothing seems to help. Any solution for this?

    Iโ€™m certain this is not a problem with my monitor(s) as both of them have worked perfectly in the past and on top of that, I tested them on an another device and they worked fine.

    My PC is a Lenovo Legion Y520 tower, whichโ€™s specs include;
    Intel Core i5-7400 3GHz
    Intel RD Graphics 630
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
    8GB of ram

    Both of my monitors showed the prompt No Signal when I plugged them into the PC no matter the port or plug I connected them to, as mentioned in the original post.

      The GTX 1060 add on video card needs to be physically removed from the motherboard before the Intel HD 630 integrated video will work, the No Signal message on the original screen was the clue that your screen is ok but the video signal from the PC is not being delivered to it.
