My new graphics card won't run from its PCI slot until I can somehow disable the integrated video card.|||usually only a VERY old motherboard would behave in this manner....
usually you hear a beep at the begining of the boot process, (though some can suppress this,) you then need to press the key for your motherboard to enter the 'setup' (ie BIOS.)
it could be 'del', 'F1', 'F2', the RIGHT 'Alt' key....
usually it will display the right key on the screen after the beep, but often if the monitor (CRT,) has been off for a few mins, it will remain blank during that phase, and you will not be able to see it. I usually just press del F1 and F2, one at a time, until it opens.
in the bios you will find a setting to tell the motherboard where to look 'first' for the video adapter.
usually only 2 toggles.....either 'onboard' or 'agp', and 'PCI'
obviously you need to choose PCI.|||You should be able to do this in the BIOS. When you boot the computer it runs the Basic Input Output System. It depends on the computer but most will stop booting and go to the BIOS if you press F1 At the first sing of boot. If you get to that then go to Vido and it should say onboard video ENABLED. Change to disable, save setting and shut computer down. Install card and reboot. Hope this helps|||you have to go into the bios when you computer is booting up. there are a few ways to get into the bios. try hitting the delete button as soon as you hit the power button. when in the bios look for the onboard video and disable it. make sure you save the new settings before you exit the bios by hitting f 10 and yes.
