I changed the agp to pci but nothing seemed to change. I still can't get the
video to come on with the new card. there is no setting in the cmos to turn
off on board, integrated video. Any other ideas?

I have a PC CHIPS M925LR motherboard. How do I install a video card?
Does the board automatically detect the new board (the mb has integrated
graphics) or must I do something to get it to work. I've tried to

install

the card without luck. Also, I don't seem able to turn off agp graphics
through the BIOS screen
Thanks.



If one was even supplied, check the manual for a jumper to disable
onboard video. At the very least there should be something to set the
primary VGA to AGP/PCI instead of Onboard/PCI, etc.




I found a BIOS update listed he

It was hard as hell to find though. The only thing I found was about
switching the Primary VGA to PCI on their other models, however I found
next to nothing on your board anywhere. In fact, this thread was the
first thing that turned up.

You might end up getting a cheap new MicroATX board to fit whatever you
have. Anything supporting a P4 without any onboard video should do
fine. Check Newegg.com. You'll probably spend about 60.00 USD.

Outside of reinstalling Windows, you should be able to keep all your
other hardware.
