Answer» I have ATI Xpress 200 graphics card. Integrated graphics card, which is part of my mother board. How do I disable it to install new graphics card? People have said that they have installed new graphics card and as a result, integrated graphics card is automatically disabled, freeing up the memory that would have been used by graphics card and old graphics card is no longer being recognized by computer as being in use. I have phoenix bios. I am on page that I can see that onboard video memory is 64mb, which is the memory from the ram sticks eaten up by the ATI graphcs card I have. I see another place where I can choose primary video type: PCI, PCI-E or something else. Is that how you can disable integrated graphics card? There is no disable / enable option I can find in bios. Don't wanna screw bios up and have my computer not working. Some people have say that they disable by using disable option that is available in device manager of windows, which I see too. What is going on?I had a similar problem, in that I couldn't actually disable my integrated graphics. What I did was install the new cad, and set my primary video type to AGP (the type I used, you will probably be using PCI-E s set it to that).

You mean I should just make sure primary video type matches the type of new graphics card that I am going to install? So I should select PCI-E in the bios if I am to install new PCI-E graphics card? Thank you You simply go to Device Manager, right click on your video chipset, click "Disable". Confirm. Turn off your computer, install your new video card. Turn computer on, and Windows will install your new video card.Quote from: Broni on October 11, 2007, 04:27:32 PM You simply go to Device Manager, right click on your video chipset, click "Disable".

I kept being told that I have to disable from bios because my graphics card is integrated (i.e., it is a motherboard component, and I'd have to disable it from motherboard). But if there is confirmation that this works for integrated graphics card like one I have, I will go ahead with it. Not to say I can't do that, it is just i do not want my computer to stop working because of some procedural errors.Quote you sure it works? I just installed new card on my Vista two weeks ago, and couple of years ago, I did same thing on Win 2K, and I didn't have to go to BIOS.

All i did was, 1). Shut down and unplug from power outlet. 2). Install new card. 3). Plug computer back in and power on. 4). "Disabled" onboard video card/chip. (mine was intel VGA) And thats it. I went into device manager to disable VGA. Hope this helps. Oh yeah, the only reason i disabled it, was because it kept telling me there was problems with my VGA. Everything still worked just FINE, but i guess the two cards were conflicting according to windows.ok thank you. i was just wanting confirmation that the windows disable method works. i just kep hearing people tell me it won't but since there is confirmation that is works, i will do it. Some motherboards do it automatically. If I were you I would check the BIOS first to see if you can do it there, if you can then boot to Windows and install your new drivers. If you can't, then boot to Windows anyway and see if the integrated chip has automatically been disabled, if so then it's fine, if not use device manager.

I have ATI Xpress 200 graphics card. Integrated graphics card, which is part of my mother board. How do I disable it to install new graphics card?

People have said that they have installed new graphics card and as a result, integrated graphics card is automatically disabled, freeing up the memory that would have been used by graphics card and old graphics card is no longer being recognized by computer as being in use.

I have phoenix bios. I am on page that I can see that onboard video memory is 64mb, which is the memory from the ram sticks eaten up by the ATI graphcs card I have. I see another place where I can choose primary video type: PCI, PCI-E or something else. Is that how you can disable integrated graphics card? There is no disable / enable option I can find in bios. Don't wanna screw bios up and have my computer not working.

Some people have say that they disable by using disable option that is available in device manager of windows, which I see too.

What is going on?I had a similar problem, in that I couldn't actually disable my integrated graphics.
What I did was install the new cad, and set my primary video type to AGP (the type I used, you will probably be using PCI-E s set it to that).
