How do I do this?

In another thread floppy said i'd have to do it in the BIOS :s

[feckit]

When the pc starts up keeping pressing F8 and this will enable you to get into the BIOS.
Once in the BIOS scroll along until you find the On-Board Graphics section & disable it.

your gonna have to be a bit more detailed. i kept pressing f8 and it comes up a boot menu wen i choose hard drive the pc starts up.

typing this using the on screen keyboard as since pressing f8 my mouse and keyboardarent working

Try pressing the delete key on startup instead and see if that works? That should take you into the BIOS and let you disable onboard graphics.

Any idea why my mouse isnt working unless i use a usb port?

I just went into device manager , and disables Sis 6510 graphic adapter . turned the PC off , put the new graphics card in , but my PC wouldnt but up. At first it kept making funny bleeping noises , but that stopped once i positioned hte card correctly. Now when I turn it on it just doesnt do anyhting. It loads a bit but the screen is blank , then nothing.

I had to take the card out again to get on this.

Are any experts avaliable on MSN? I'd find that a bit easier to get help.

Thanks for the help so far lads

Also there doesnt seem to be a port on the graphics card that my monitor will fit into :S

Processor is a Intel (R) Celeron CPU 2.66 GHz

Not sure how I find out about he motherboard :S

The PC is a packard bell, purchased from PC World (Rip Off lol)

As far as I'm concerned, everybody is peeing into the wind unless you can tell us more details of your PC.

What is the model number & or name of this crapard hell PC.


I have to say, you have a crap system & would be better off saving your pennies & buy a better PC ... I deduce that from two words.

I do not care for having the greatest system and stuff. I just want to play GTA on my comp at a decent frame rate.

I've attached an Everest system summary below

[muckshifter]

I don't really care if you care or not ... as far as I can see, you need a better system. The graphics card you need may not go in your system.

You need to make sure that your videocard is compatible with the motherboard.

(HCL: hardware Compatibility List)
To find out, check the manufacture and the type of the motherboard on the mobo itself, then go to their website and seach for specification for your mobo.

Do you see a POST(black screen with different specification)
If it is just at the moment windows boot up that you got a blank screen?, it's probably because you need to boot on VGA mode to adjust the resolution of your display(resolution).

It sounds as if you hadn't pushed the video card into the AGP slot enough but now you have.

If the cable from your monitor doesn't fit into the video card I'm going to guess that the card has one or two DVI sockets and the cable from the monitor is a VGA fitting.

So you need a DVI to to VGA adapter. Usually you get one or two supplied with the video card.

But I can't say for sure because I can't actually see anything, obviously.

If you could give us more info about the connectors, even a written description here, it may help.

If you think you can get more help on MSN, go right ahead.

Just let us know though so we don't waste our time with you.
