Hi,
I have an HP Pavilion a820n, which has a mother board:
Motherboard manufacturer's name: ASUS PTGD1-LA
HP/Compaq name: Goldfish-GL8E

OS: Windows XP home.
CPU:3.20 GHz, Intel Pentium 4 HT processors
Memory: 2.5 G



I would like to replace the on-board video. The strang thing is that
even though I set video to PCI from on-board, the on-board video
output still has signal out. The video card, on the other hand, has
not signal out. I had test that video card on other machine.

BTW, I first uninstall the video display driver first before I change
the BIOS setttings. Anyone can help me out? Thanks in advance
 
Most video is auto-switchable. Meaning if a AGP or PCIe card is
installed the on-board video automatically switches off.

Are you sure the add-on video card is compliant for your MB ?
AGP comes in several iterations such as 4X and 8X speeds. You
may have a card that isn't compatible for your motherboard.

That's a very old board. It has neither slot.

I tried to find the manual on that board... it's too old. What I
managed to find is that you will probably have to find a jumper on the
motherboard and change its setting. You will need a manual to figure
out where that jumper is.
