Installing Graphics Card

[borednerd]

I just purchased an ATI Radeon 9200 PCI Bus graphics card for my computer, but i am relatively noobish in installing it.

I obvisoly put the card in my PCI slot, but the problem is that my current graphics card is built in to my motherboard....card with my sound, and other stuff.

It says i have to disable that graphics card in the motherboard, but this is were i get lost. I installed the graphics drivers for the Radeon card, but when i use the monitor through that card, it doesnt work.

Anything you would suggest?

You disable it in the bios.

Like WQ said, there is a place in bios that should say "Features" or something similiar, and should have options to disable most integrated features.

If you don't know how to get into bios, restart your computer and when it starts reading your ram and hdd, press delete. Thats how it is on most motherboards...if you use a dell or some other store bought machine, a lot of those use F keys. Just read for a key to get you into bios.
