I want to disable my Integrated Video

« on: December 06, 2004, 11:25:24 AM »

I currently have a PCI Voodoo3 that i have installed for when i play quake...

Now, i really dotn wanna use that Integrated anymore becuase it steals ram and lags the S#!t out of good games....

If i disable it in bios, how in the hell will the comptuer know where to send the information?

Thanks

onboard video

You will most likely have an option to disable the Onboard video in the BIOS, or possibly a jumper on the board to disable it. There should also be the option to initialize Onboard, PCI, or AGP port for video output.
Most, if not all, motherboards with onboard video will automatically disable the onboard once booted up with a video card inserted into the AGP or PCI port. If it does not (which is rare) then you go into your BIOS and disable the video there, if available.

You are correct SIR

--- Hold DEL on boot, go into your bios (if you have award bios) -- you most likely will find the setting in 'Integrated Peripherals' and it will most likely say 'On Board Video' change from enabled to disabled (hit the + key) and [esc] from that screen exit with save and reboot.

Screenshot below is of the award bios screen... the correct stuff isn't highlighted, but you get the idea ~~ you may want to edit the bios with the new video card OUT of the computer, after you edit, turn off the PC and pop in your new card... TA-DA it should work.... let us know

You said it booted at 640x480. That usually means no drivers are installed. Are there any installed? If not, tell me your card and I can get you a link to the correct set.

well i found the drivers, but they dont have verified drivers to make the card a single supported card, or the main card....so with these drivers i cannot make it the main card, oh well...i guess ill turn the RAM used with the Integrated

Thanks for the help

Are you saying when you tried to install the drivers, Windows said they weren't verified, so you didn't install them?

If you don't have any drivers, you need some. Tell me the exact card you have. I bet that's it.

As for the main topic, how do you know it's using up RAM?

Go ahead & install those Video drivers, they will work...."Verified" indicates that your card manufacturer has not slept with ol Billy Gates yet.

cheers~!
