How is the software-rendered image supposed to show up on the screen if GPU is nonresponsive? Excluding laptops with switchable graphics, the GPU is the one actually connected to the display. If the GPU hangs, how could the CPU continue to update the framebuffer in GPU memory?

I assume the same way that your BIOS splash does before your drivers have loaded. I should read the article though.
Ugh, so many ad loads. How are those getting through ublock?

I had zero with uBlock -- do you have the plugin disabled for that site?

I forget to install it after migrating to Iceraven >.>

My BIOS splash screen only shows up if the monitor's attached to the motherboard video output. The outputs on the GPU have no signal until plasma starts...

That’s a bios setting. External GPU should be default unless you’ve changed it.

I just checked again, but I have no such option in my BIOS. In fact, there aren't any video-related options at all.
