Install Card
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. |

Thanks.
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? "deimos" wrote in message ... JI wrote: I have a PC CHIPS M925LR motherboard. How do I install a video card?

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 http://www.pcchipsusa.com/support-pcchips-bios.asp#478 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. |

It seem like your BIOS do not a feature or option disable. If either BIOS or jumper available to disable the onbard VGA, then you SOL. You next option is to get another MoBo without VGA onboard. Or continue using that PC Chip MoBo without the new video card. CapFusion,... |

Thanks.
But why would there be a AGP slot if an "external" card is not an option? "CapFusion" CapeFussion...@hotmail.., com wrote in message ... "JI" wrote in message ...

Some motherboards will detect automatically, could be a jumper or a setting in
the bios to disable on board video. I believe if the motherboard detects automatically you still need to disable the on board video in device manager in Windows. |

"JI" wrote in message ... Thanks. But why would there be a AGP slot if an "external" card is not an option? That is very good and valid question. In MoBo point of view, when there another display card detect, the onboard should auto disable. This may not alway the case if there another VGA card. The only workaround is to use a PCI card and see if it will detect and disable onboard. Or make sure the PCI is set to start first or initialize first from the BIOS or jumper. This may not alway work but sometime it does. Check if there a new BIOS update for your mainboard. CapFusion,... |
