Ok, I've got a graphics card to put in my pc. My pc has onboard graphics so how do I get my pc to use the card I want to install and not the "basic" onboard graphics?

My PC had on-board graphics and when I installed a new graphics card the BIOS automayically used the new card. I also freed up the 80 MB used by the old on-board graphics card.

go into your bios (normally pressing a key like delete during boot up) also called setup

 

and looking for an option for onboard graphics (every bios is different) if its there disable it and it should use the new graphics

Thank you I will try that later. Do I install the driver disc before I fit the card?

Install the card first.

Cheers!

you may not need the disc, depends if xp or vista has the driver already.

 

also as mod says it may automatically use the installed card so may notneed to disable, youll have to check which graphics are in use after youve installed it

youll lose how many updates it installed.

knowing windows 100 at a time? lol

like a said before i find system restore a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

yes gets you back but then you dont know which update did it and so may install it again. i prefer to try and get the sound back the normal way

Mr Chris If Ya Cant Help Then Go Away

 

Ah, but usually I can help. I can also use punctuation.

 

And I'm rather good at winding people up.

 

But, and come on let's face it, advertising your services in a section full of tech geeks is just asking for a few jibes!
