1. Currently there is no onboard graphics controller ,internal graphic is built in cpu.

2. When you insert a external card ,the internal graphic will disable automatically ,it very normal.

3. Do you mean that you wanna internal graphic and external graphic simultaneous output signal ??
I saw a option in bios ,it call "IGD Multi-Monitor" ,its tip is "Enable/Disable IGD Multi-Monitor by Internal Graphics Device." ,does this option is you need??

Yes i wish to use that option however whenever i plug my external gpu, that option is greyed out and disabled. I don't know how BIOS mods work but i would like to get that option if possible

Option "IGD Multi-Monitor" is hidden ,so you should not see it now.
Now try flashing this mod ,it should unlock some tabs in bios.

Thanks for the reply and sorry for the late response. I've been trying to find how to update/flash bios but I just didnt find anything this past few hours, I dont know much about flashing bios and stuff so if you could explain how to do so or just link a detailed & easier way for me to understand,I would really appreciate that . Thanks again!!

No like ik how to flash bios but i keep getting this error in process.
Edit : the bios i gave you is from 2012/08/14 and the one that i currently have is from 2011/07/26, would it be why i get this error?

This message is mean the bios was not suitable your machine.

The manufacturer of your machine is gateway ,but you provided link is acer ,do you notice it??

yes i do realise that, but insidethe bios it shows that it an acer pc.
so if i want to flash my bios i have to give you my current bios for it to work?
edit : if i somehow manage to make that bios working ( the one you give me) will i be able to use igpu with my external one?
