I recently purchased a new PC with an on board 32MB graphics card and wanted
to install the NVidia GeForce 2 card from my old PC but when i do lose
connection permedently, however the card works fine from what i can tell, so
i called the technical support for my ISP and they figured it is a problem
that has something to due with connection levels and it requires a service
call to fix. But when i remove the GeForce 2 card and plug the monintor back
into the on board card i regain a consistant connection. Any advice-on how to
get the new card running and keep my connection going at the same time- is
most apprecaited.
 
Hate to sound like a novice but u think u could give me more specific
instruction on how do disable the bios correctly?
P.S. Thanks very much for your reply
 
We can not help you with the method of turning off the onboard video card in
your BIOS. You would need to tel us the model of the motherbaord in order
for us to locate this info or check in the PC's manual.
 
What method are you using to connect to the "internet"? On many
motherboards the PCI interupt in the slot next to the AGP slot is shared
with the AGP card. If you have a bus hogging Video card it can cause
issues with the shared slot. So if the NIC or modem is next to the AGP
slot try relocating it.
