Hello there,
Well, if your motherboard is recent, it may disable it automatically when you install the new card.
If not, you should reference your motherboard manual for the BIOS instructions.
If you do not have the manual, but can find the motherboard model number, you can do a search for the manufacturer's website. There, you should be able to find instructions.
If all of this fails, you can take a look and see if you can find it yourself.
!!!BE ADVISED!!!
It is dangerous to mess around in the BIOS if you have no idea what you are doing.
!!!BE ADVISED!!!
When you reboot your machine, you should see something like:
"Press DEL to enter setup."
It could be escape, F1, F2, F10, etc.
Press that key right when that message appears, and you should see the configuration screen for your computer.
Now the fun part:
There will be several menu choices. You will have to look at each one and look for something like:
On-board Video: Enabled
... Then you can disable it.
Look at the instructions on the screen for how you can save the changes and reboot. (Usually F10)
Here is the deal: Don't change ANYTHING else, and you should be fine.
If you need anything else, you should give me the motherboard model number.
Good luck,
DangerNerd.
