Hi guys ,

sorry to ask ,but I'm desperate and broke , buying a new mobo is not an option.

I have an acer aspire 5742G 374G32Mnkk intel HM55 chipset with a damaged ATI 5470 Card (black screen vertical lines on vga external monitor) i did a reflow but it didn't last long less than two weeks.

I was wondering if it's possible to use the CPU i3 370M integrated intel graphics , i'm 100% sure that the cpu has it except theres nothing on the system that indicates it nothing on the device manager or the Bios.

and i also tried to install the intell drivers but i got a message saying that this computer does not meet the minimum requirements...

so my question is will a modded bios allow me to enable it and use it instead of the damaged ATI ?

Thanks.
