My 5 year old computer (HP Pavilion a614n, Intel Pentium 4, 2.6gz CPU, 2 GB RAM) came with an integrated video card (Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/PV graphics controller). I recently got a NVIDIA 6200 video card (PCI only - not AGP or PCI-E) so that I could play more games. The card is installed & drivers have been updated. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to override the integrated Intel video card. If anyone could give me some step-by-step pointers, I'd be most grateful. Thank you.|||You need to go into the bios.
On boot hit the delete key of F2 or what ever you need to open the bios screens.
I don't know what bios you are using but look in the perpetuals screen.
When you find it select primary video PCI hit F10 and then yes.
BE CAREFUL IN THE BIOS.
If you do screw up then load the failsafe defaults and exit the same way.|||Enter BIOS when booting up the pc.
Go to ADVANCED Menu
Picture of Advanced Screen is about half-way down this webpage:

See in the picture where it says: Primary Video Adapter [PCI]
It is set to PCI in the picture. Set yours to [PCI].
Save & Exit BIOS.
(the wording may be a little different in your BIOS, but what you are doing is setting the Primary Display to the Video Card, instead of integrated graphics.)
Don't install the drivers until Windows tells you "New Hardware Found".
The Monitor needs to be connected to the connector on the video card.|||Control Panel>Device Manager>Display Adapter right click, Disable.
