Hi

The manual for your motherboard should tell you, but when turn the PC on,
have a look at the bottom of the screen for a message like 'Press X to enter
setup' - where X could be Del, F2, F3 etc.

Your PC documentation should have that for you.
If when during the booting process, do you see on the screen before getting
to the XP splash screen where it says "F2 for Setup" etc.

If you see where it says to strike a certain key for "setup", that is the
one for the BIOS. But to be honest, if you don't already know how, and
unless you know what you are doing in the BIOS, I would recommend getting
someone else that does know before making any changes there that may damage
your BIOS.

Most likely entering the bios would be done by pressing delete immediately
after the computer turns on . Scroll down the various pages using the
direction keys indicated at the bottom of the first page till you locate
the onboard video , enable / disable. Most likely plus or minus will make
the changes. follow closing instructions and exit bios. This should be close
to what you have to do , but bios have different manufactures. Reading the
bios instruction in your handbook will be more exact . Jym

Only you know what motherboard and BIOS you have, so only you know
the answer to your question. ;-}

In the extremely unlikely event that your PC's manual doesn't
contain the needed information, try one or more of the following:

Try the following site for information for accessing different
manufacturers' BIOS;

When you get in, look for "integrated" section, and disable onboard video,
and exit BIOS saving changes made. Good Luck.

on most computers all you have to do is press 'DEL' at startup. sometime

you cannot tell when to do this so its best to just continuelsy press
'delete' as soon as you turn your PC on. A Blue (-normaly blue) screen
should apper, this is the bios. dont worry continuslay pressing delete wont
do any harm.board vidio card and that I should go to the bios and disable the on board
