After installing x1300 pci card and disableing my motherboard graphics card I get only a black screen

You should not need to disable on-board graphics. Just install your PCI card and connect your monitor to that.

Hi,
Boot the system in safe mode. Go to device manager and under display adapters , right click on the onbaord graphics adapter and disable the same. It worked on one of the systems i troubleshot for the same problem.

Uninstall your graphics driver first and run driver cleaner in safe mode.
turn off your pc and
reseat your ATI x1300 and spot some dust on its gold interface to clean it. and reinstall gfx card ..
see if it helps

Hi porkchop_66_ , if you uninstalled factory graphics drivers, chances are you uninstalled the motherboards built in graphics card driver. Since you haven't provided your motherboard model & manufactures name I can't be 100% your weren't using an onboard graphics card. So I'll cover both.
If you added the X1300 AGP card, (Not replacing an older AGP card), you'll need to enter the motherboards bios menu & set the bios to boot to the AGP slot. If you replaced an older AGP card, its possible you have the monitor plugged into the wrong VGA out-put on the Radeon. There are two ports. One DVI & one VGA. Try each & check for display. Lastly, the Radeon X1300 card you have
runs in an AGP port that supports 1.5volts. Check your, motherboard manual. Check if your motherboard supports AGP cards of 1.5v.
If all this does not make sense, post back with your motherboards model number & the manufacture name & I'll be able to help further. Post here.


Good luck porkchop_66_!

As far as I am aware, you can not run an ATI card in the same system as an Nvidia card due to driver conflicts.

Are you sure it's a PCI slot you are putting it into, and not a PCIe slot? If so, check your BIOS is set to allow PCI graphics.

is this sluggish all over or only in games ?

do the BIOS update !

in the advanced BIOS features there should be a onboard GPU tab, put it on disabled or on initiate AGP/PCI first (depends on the BIOS), so to be sure that the onboard card is disabled !

Connect the display to the HIS ...video card , and at least on bootup there should be info displayed on the screen . If not than : - try to reinsert the video card (bad connection ) (also check if its a card that needs external power source ( i doubt it))
- check if the video card is compatible with the motherboard (should be in the user manual, or on the producers site ... )
- check on another comp. if the card is good ....

hope it helps u ... if not, give more details ....

Tech is suggesting that you pressed too hard while switching back & forth & may have hurt the motherboard by bending it. This a common problem. I can only suggest that remove your old card & clean the PCI slot with canned air. Carefully reseat the old card pressing evenly downwards till the card is seated. Use a flashlight & check where the card connects to the slot. It should be level across the PCI slot. Do this while the power cord is unpluged from the PC. Plug the power back in & start the PC.
Some video cards require extra power. Your newer card may need a four pin power connector to run. Please check the instructions that came with the RADEON X1300.
