Motherboard video problem!

dc88 · 06-21-2009, 02:53 PM

This is my first time putting in a video card and im not sure of exactly what im doing.
I have a GeForce 6200 (AGP) video card that i would like to put in a P4M800 mother board. While doing this i was following the included instructoins with the card and i think i may have misunderstood what i was supposed to do. It says "If your computer has any on-board grphics capability, disable it on the motherboard by referring to your computer documentation." I disabled the on-board video by going into the control panel went to display and disabled it from there. From what i can tell i just shut it off rather than uninstalled it. Now i have no display and the new card will not work because the old drivers are still installed and i cant get any display to come back from bios.
What i need to know is how can i turn the on-board video back on so i can uninstall it to make my new card work?
And also if im wrong in anything i have stated above pls by all means correct me like i said i have no idea what im doing really.

Can you still see the bios with the onboard gpu? You need to go into the bios and disable the onboard video there and set it to detect agp videocards.

Yes i can see the bios and i have a display up untill windows loads which makes sence seeing as i disabled it in windows settings. But i dont know where to go or how to disable the motherboards gpu useing the bios

The book thats came with the motherboard says that it uses Award BIOS
When the bios opens this is what is threre,
Standard CMOS Features
Advanced BIOS features
Advanced chipset features
Integrated Peripherals <--- im thinking its in here but dont know??
Power managment setup
PnP/PCI config.
PC health
frequency/voltage control
Load fail-safe
Load optimized
Could anyone tell me which of these to find this under?

boot from the onboard
in the device manager disable the onboard
if the card is listed uninstall it
turn the computer off
install the card
change the video cable from the onboard to the card
reboot into the bios
check to see if you can disable the onboard in there and set it to detect agp or pcie first
save and exit the bios tapping f8 and choose vga mode
when windows finishes booting
disable a/virus
install your drivers for the card
reboot the computer

probably in intergrated some m/b auto disable when a card is inserted
