How do I install a graphics card on an integrated Motherboard.?

Question

I just bought a GE Force 5200 PCI Graphics card and I want to install it on a BIOSTAR P4M80-M4 478 VIA P4M800 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard. I am able to get into the Motherboard BIOS but I do not know which option or where to click to disable the integrated video.....HELP PLEASE!!!!!

Additional Details

I plugged the monitor and I can see the Windows XP booting screen, but then it goes black, then I connect the monitor to the integrated port and I see the log in page. So just plugging the monitor won't work.

It's in the bios somewhere. It should give you an option of selecting "initial display" and then you can select PCI there. And the problem happens just like you explained if you don't select PCI as initial display.........this happens on older systems when you don't have a AGP slot on the mobo and you have to use an PCI slot video card.

Just go back into the bios and slowly go through all screens.....it's there somewhere.

Good luck.

You don't have to disable it! Just plug the monitor into the new card!

Answer 3

Just put the graphic card in and then go to device manager and disable the onboard one from there.
