how to disable motherboard graphics
 |
hi everyone, I am having trouble, I need to turn off my motherboard graphics card as it blew up.I bought a pci geforce 8500 card and installed it, but to run the driver disc I have to disable the motherboard card. I cannot alter the bios as the settings are fixed by lenovo. Everytime I start my computer I am having to start my monitor in the motherboard slot because it does not recognize the new card,I have just downloaded some windows updates retarted the computer and had to restart again by putting the monitor in the new card so I can use it, these are my specs:-
amd athlon 64x2 dual core 3800+
1gb,2500gb 7200rpm s-ata hdd
pci/pcie tower 4x4
nvidia GeForce 6100
multi burner plus 16x
product 3000j115
bios version 2nkt19aus
operating system version 3.01
toal memory 1024mb
Also when I run the drivers disc to install, it say`s " nv4_mini.sys " is missing and is needed to procede so I cannot install the drivers from the disc.
Please can anyone help me
Thank You

There may be a jumper on the motherboard for this but most likely it is in the BIOS settings when you boot up. It is probably labeled Integrated Peripherals. Disable it there.

however first install the drivers of the G- force GFX card

Hi Hawkeye
According to what you're saying it sounds like the GFX is faulty or might not be compatible with you're mobo. Try these:
1-Test you're newby GFX card in a friends machine.
If youre newby card does'nt work in his machine than the card might be kapoot
2-Test a friends working GFX card in you're mobo and see it works
If his card doesnt work in you're machine than we know theres something on you're machine that not adding up
Please check that so we can know where the hickup lies
cheers
