How do i disable integrated graphics? and how do i check if my video card is actually working? ok so i have this computer http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4348627&Sku=S445-10007 and this video card http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4486366&CatId=3585 i put the video card in the motherboard and now i don't know how to disable the integrated graphics and enable the video card. i know i have to do something in the BIOS settings but when i access the bios settings i get this http://img210.imageshack.us/i/dscf3058vl6.jpg/ its not EXACTLY the same but its really similar... i looked in all the headings and there is nothing to do with the graphics or cpu or anything like that. please help someone also told me its in integrated peripherals and all i get is this http://img530.imageshack.us/i/dscf3059lg0.jpg/ and im positive i put it in correctly i can hear the fan spinning and see the red LED on the video card. anybody have any ideas? im starting to think that the video card doesnt even work at all. how do i check if the motherboard reads it? i went to dxdiag and sys info and it doesnt show it, it just shows my integrated graphics. also when i plug the monitor in the video card it just gives me a blank screen. please help.

Answer:
Look in the picture at the bottom edge. The little black cube with 6 holes needs to have a plug from the power supply in it.You also may need a larger power supply as yours is only 300W. A new larger one, say 450W, will have the necessary plug. Consider this as a suggestion. Good luck.

Google it! Oh and nice computer. :D
It should be in "advanced chipset setup" It might be something like "hybrid sli support" and it it's disabled then your video card won't be enabled...only the onboard graphics chip.
Connect the monitor to the original video output. boot up and open device manager in control panel and find the onboard graphics. Right click and disable. Do not reboot. Load the new card driver and software. Shut the pc down. Connect to the new card. reboot and follow the instructions.
