I assume you mean disable the usage of the igpu for Boinc? You will have to be more specific if the igpu is the only video output for your AIO or whether it also contains a discrete gpu for monitor driving.

If the igpu is the only video device you can't disable it in the BIOS because it drives the monitor of the AIO.

If that is the case, then you must have to either configure every gpu project compute preferences to NOT use the igpu of the AIO, whether being Intel, AMD, or Nvidia flavor in the settings.

You can also suspend use of the gpu in the Boinc Manager via the Activity menu. But that is for just the current session and will reset to enabled upon reboot of the AIO and restart of Boinc I believe.

There's only the iGPU. It was enough to just tell BOINC to disable the GPU usage but for some reason i forgot about this option. Thank you very much.
