Help i'm trying to install GeForce 8600 GT in my computer but i need to disable the integrated video card . help me please
Info on computer

Brand: Gateway
Ram: 1.37 Gb
Processer: 2.2 Ghz
OS: Window Xp Pro Sp2
Integrated video card: GeForce 6100
Bios: Phoenix

Go to the bios (may be works by pressing F2, F10, or Del button during the initial boot up), there's an option to disable the onboard video.

Well, in my case, it's not "disable", but I have to choose either AGP(it's PCI-E in your case) or the onboard video.

Right Click Computer Icon

Select Properties

Click Hardware Tab

Device Manager should be there somewhere

Find Display Adapters (Click the + sign to the left)

Find your Graphics card

Right click - Properties - Disable.

Hope that helps.

Yea got that but the BIOS. i don't see a option that says disable integrates video card........ just code which i can't understand. i will disable one by one and see if it work.

BIOS isn't something to be casually played with.

You could try installing the new card and go into installed devices and make it default? Or try going into your display settings to make it default.

Also to just note here, are you sure your power supply will be able to run the card? I believe you need at least a 400w to 450w psu for that card with some good volts running to it.

In your bio's (del it should be if it's pheonix, like mine) go into integrated peripherals (or if not, go into each segment) and change your video to PCI-E.

Sometimes it takes a while to actually do it... I know it takes me two or three attempts to set it to PCI-E and for it to register.

Hmmmmmmmmmm it seems that the OS programs is very corrupted. there was a system programs that allow me to install hareware but it not working ><
i got to format the hard drive but first save my work on the patch creator which most of you hate patches lol.

I'm new to video card installing even when i know how to fix computer ><
(at least I'm saving money)
