I have an acer M3201 with inbuilt ATI 3200HD graphics on motherboard. I am trying to upgrade graphics by using a PNY GeForce 9800GT card in the PCI slot but when I disable the ATI via device manager, no video signal is outputed when monititor is connected to the new card. Its though the computer doesnt know the card is there.
any thoughts?
I just added an EVGA GT440 to my Acer Veriton G-series that has Intel Integrated HD Graphics.
The BIOS is Acer v.02.68.
This turned out to be not as hard as some on the internet make it out to be. The BIOS had "DISABLE INTEGRATED GRAPHICS" greyed out so it was not possible to disable them prior to the install anyway.
After the haslse of trying to do it the way EVGA said in the instructions, I wound up having to just install the video card and hook up my monitors to it.
Upon reboot, I went into BIOS and the integrated graphis were self-disabled.
Installed the supplied EVGA drivers and we were good to go.
Connect the monitor to the onboard video connector first. then
you need to disable the on-board graphics in the BIOS save the setting and shutdown. Then connect the monitor to the GeForce video connector and boot up then you will get a video signal on the GeForce video card.
