My graphics card does not show up on my Device Manager

>Delete the old Nvidia card drivers off your computer.
>Install the ATI video card drivers (you probably did this, but....)
>You may have to disable the integrated video on the motherboard (if you have it) in the BIOS setup screen.
>Make sure the new card is seated properly, take it out and reinstall it. This is one of the most common problems.
>Make sure the VGA or DVI pins in the monitor video cable are not bent or damaged. Another very common problem.
>Swap monitor with a different one; if you get video your monitor is bad or there are some settings need changing.
>Take the video card back, it may be bad.

You don't need to disable any driver, unplug, use ESD protection, install Graphics Card, move the monitor cable to the new card,(you may have to boot on the old monitor connection and install driver), install the driver for the new card and reboot plug into the new card. Do your windows updates to obtain the latest driver. You can open the Device Manager, open Display adapters and disable the Intel graphics adapter. Is it a PCI or AGP Graphics Card? Remember: with a Aftermarket Graphics Card it requires more Power/Watts, you should consider a PSU upgrade. You didn't post the Make, Model Graphics Card, usually there is a Min. Power Spec. for the card listed on the box.

Hi johnpaulanq3,

1. Go to your bios by pressing delete or F2 key. 2. Go to Chipset tab. 3. Go to North Bridge enter, IGD currently Enabled press enter and select Disabled. 4. Press F10 to Save and Exit keeping your changes.

The set up above is a sample BIOS settings for Biostar H55 mother board,used as a reference to show how to disable the integrated graphics card. it might be a conflict to your 1GB DDR2 GPU.
additional Initiate Graphic Adapter This item allows you to select which graphics controller to use as the primary boot device. Options: PEG/PCI (Default) / IGD / PCI/IGD / PCI/PEG / PEG/IGD

as you can see most mother boards now a days can work well with integrated GPU and discrete GPU so it's up to you if you want to disable the IGD or same.
If you want to verify the running GPU's right click on My Computer, Properties, Device Manager, Click Display Drivers and see what GPU's are running.


Hopefully this information helps.

Willing to help if problem persist, just give more details or specifications.

Thank you for using FixYa.

How did you get your drivers and graphics? Did you install the whole package? What is the Asus model #? How much Ram do you have? I'm going to do a little research but let me know what you have.

You can install a better graphics card in the AGP slot. You most likely need to disable the on board graphics card from the BIOS.

If you want to run Windows 7 on your PC, here's what it takes:

• 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
  
• 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
  
• 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
  
• DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
  

You may need to access your control panel, classic view, system, device manager, and then click on sound devices,

right click on each device listed there and click update driver..

You have to go into the system BIOS to disable the on board graphics.

hmmm..old card should just remove with one screw along back panel, unless it's the embedded version

go to control panel, system, device manager, and let me know what it says under audio devices.
