Hey guys, simple question here, is it possible for me to use my integrated gpu to do all my regular chores on my computer so I can leave my 5850 mining without any interference? The reason i'm asking this is because my card crashes quite often when I open a somewhat graphic intensive (not THAT intensive) software when I'm mining.

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

This might be possible if your mb has an option for turning on onboard gpu while another video card is in the PCI-e slot.
So yeah, check out your motherboard bios and see if there is an option for this.

I see, and that doesn't seem the case, I don't think my mobo can do that. What if I use this old GPU I have here, a ATI 1300 (lol), maybe that would work? Gotta try it out.

Edit: Nope, that didn't work out either.

If your motherboard is an ATI 760G or higher, yes you can. This is also possible with nvidia 8000 (AMD) and 9000 (Intel) series boards.

It's all about the game, and how you play it

No h67 can't by design although z67 can. Intel made some artifical segments with the second generation core processors.
