Vista Tutorial - Hello i need installtion help :p

Can anyone give me a detailed guide or video which ever to show me how to install a PCI-E graphics card with onboard graphics already installed???? i need to know what to do first and last like drivers direct X putting the graphics card the whole nine yards thank you

the motherboard should default to using the graphics card....
he is removing a already installed yes i know but its the same steps....
install the drivers
install directx
thats it

yea but the thing is i dont have a card in there already i have a company built computer and the last time i did this my computer got so many stop errors dont i need to disable the old one or what?

allright what is the model of your computer??
what video card???
unnistall the old video drivers
plug in the video card

go to the bios (when you first turn on the computer you should see something like BIOS setup or BIOS setting) there should be a setting to disable the IGP and to enable the one in you PCI-e
now you should be able to log in

BTW are you sure you have adaquete power for your card??

Hi Shawn4455, a newly installed graphic card will over ride the on board one. You don't have to disable anything in the bios like you might need for adding a sound card.

One additional step needed on top of what is given by darkassian. If you graphic card is one of the more powerful one, it will need its own power cable connection. The power connector usually are 4 pins with yellow wires as show below. If your power supply does not come with that cable, that means your power supply is inadequate or insufficient for that graphic card. Then you will have to replace the power supply with a more powerful one.



Please feel free to ask if more question. Hope this helps.
