BIOS how to remove graphics card in
Posted: Mon Dec 19, 2011 3:38 pm
Hi,
I have a Packard Dell desktop with Windows Vista and recently my graphics card burned out (to such an extent that I can’t use it again to disable). I took my PC to PC World and the assistant in the shop replaced my graphics card with a nvidia GeeForce 8400GS. He told me that when I got home I’d need to disable my old graphics card, but when I turn on my computer to do this all I see is a black screen with the white mouse icon.
I have therefore started the computer in BIOS by pressing F2 on start-up to try to disable my graphics card but am unable to see what I need to change / do?
The main menu options are:
1) Main Menu
I. IDE Channel 0 Master
II. IDE Channel 0 Slave
III. IDE Channel 2 Master
IV. IDE Channel 3 Master
2) Advanced
3) CPU Config
4) Advanced BIOS
5) Advanced Chip set features
6) Integrated Peripherals
7) Power Management Set-up
8) PNP / PCI Config
9) PC Health Status
What menu do I need to go into / what specifically do I need to change?
Once changed what are the next steps? Do I then need to remove any programs / hardware once in Windows Vista before I install the new graphics card software?
Any advice is much appreciated
Thanks
Ashley
