Hello. I have recently purchased a GEForce 8400 Gs PCI graphics card to put into my Everex Impcat GS3005 which has a built in video card. The built in video card is a geforce 6100gpu. My problem is that when i go to install the drivers for my new video card the cd says that it cant find the correct drivers for my system. i have even tried to download the drivers from nvidia and i get the same problem. Now i have disabled my onboard video card and when i plug in my monitor to the new video card the monitor works. Please help.

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 pcie first
save and exit the bios tapping f8 and choose low resolution mode
when windows finishes booting
disable a/virus
install your drivers for the card
reboot the computer
