I am installing a Video-228pci-twin video card and need to disable the onboard video port. Jack H. [email protected]

The issue you are describing may be with your video card rather than the monitors. Do you have an onboard video jack? If so, hook one of the monitors to this jack and disable the video driver for your installed vidio card. If it works, you have the answer. If you do not have an onboard card perhaps you can borrow a video card from another computer to test if it is indeed your video card or monitors. You might also try to uninstall and then reinstall the driver from your video card maker. They usually have driver downloads on the site. Lastly, you can buy a cheap video card for testing and if you discover it is your video card buy a new one.

Check if it a jumper to disable the onboard video. If not, try disabling the onboard video in BIOS or selecting the option in BIOS to use a plugin card rather than onboard.

Where do you have your video cable plugged in? With the new graphics card installed, do you have video out of either connector?

Your pc has a special graphics expansion port - AGP x8

You can insert any graphics cards which will fit the port. Check carefully, there are quite a few different types of graphics port.

Once inserted, boot up the PC, and insert the disk you should get with the card, it will have all the relevant drivers.

There should be no need to alter the bios settings, the new card will be identified by the boot process.

If power supply does become an issue, you will need to upgrade the PSU (Power Supply Unit).

plug in the monitor input port onto the graphic card port which you have installed

the drivers of this card can only support operating systems xp , 2000 , linux , vista 32 or 64 bit..
not for win 7...

Hi.

You do not necessarily need to disable the built in graphic adapter, the computer can manage two different adapters.
The nVidia should show picture with standard VGA definition (800x600 only) if simply connected to the AGP or PCI slot even if drivers are not installed, and even if built in GPU is not disabled.
If there is no picture, check installation in slot, check that card is not disabled in BIOS, check video cable is well connected, and if nothing works, test the video adapter on different PC, the card may be faulty.

Here the manuals:

you need to unstill the intergrated vga port via the BIOS or disable the device via the device manager, install the new driver first the install the pci card

Installation of a PCI-Express 16 video card in the motherboard will automatically disable the on-board video.
I'll you should need to do is connect the video to the new card and load the drivers

Go to the device manage and instead of disabling it, uninstall it. Then power down, move the cable to the pci port. reboot, when windows brings up the new hardware found, hit cancel until it disappears. Go back to device manager and if it has re-appeared uninstall it again and go about your business.
