I mean… it still shouldn’t go black. There’s no reason why two video cards can’t work at the same time.
There are some CPUs (like the AMD Ryzen I'm currently running) that don't support on board graphics. So even if your motherboard has a spot for an on board HDMI it won't actually work. I'm assuming this is the case for OP.
Yeah or it could be configured to disable the igpu if there’s a dgpu installed
Which is probably a good thing to do in prebuilts to prevent people from accidentally using the iGPU and wondering why their performance is so bad
They generally have that port blocked off or a text saying ”Don't plug your cable here” for that reason.
