It depends on what you are doing and if you have a desktop or a laptop. If you are a gamer, then you will know if you need to upgrade to a better video card to play the game. If not, then you will probably be fine with the integrated one, unless you are running high - end business programs. Oh, and if you have a laptop then you cannot upgrade or change the video card at all. You should know if you need a better one.

Why is the display not working after a BSOD with irql less than or equal error for both the graphics card and the integrated card on motherboard?

Sounds like the integrated video card died. An integrated component can fail, just like an add-on card can. Don't dispair though, it doesn't mean you need to replace your motherboard. You can purchase an add-on card, you will need to know if you can use a PCI or AGP card. You can probably use a PCI card. Most motherboards will automatically disable the integrated video when you insert an add-on card. Be sure to ground yourself to the chassis by touching it before inserting any add-on card. A new display card will range in price, it can be more than a new motherboard, or can cost more.

What does the motherboard hold?

The motherboard holds most of the essential circuitry needed for the computer. It contains the CPU, the chipset, the buses, the memory, voltage regulators, the BIOS, the CMOS battery, and various controllers. The motherboard may or may not have integrated graphics. If not, the machine will need a separate video card.


You are having problems with your sound card and you want to remove it Where does it be and how can you remove it?

A sound card can either be integrated into the motherboard, or in one of the expansion slots. If it is integrated into the motherboard, it cannot be removed, but it can usually be disabled in the BIOS. If it is in an expansion slot, you need to remove the cover of the case, and remove a single screw that holds it in place, and then pull it out.

What are the different between intergrated and non intergrated motherboard?

With non-integrated motherboards, the initial cost is higher because more individual components need to be purchased. intergrated motherboards contain built-in components that are normally on found by adding expansion cards. For example, a motherboard might have video and network capabilities built right into the board, so you don't have to purchase a separate video card and network card. The obvious downside to this is that if the video or network component ceases to function, you will either have to replace the entire motherboard or disable the malfunctioning onboard component

Can you upgrade the graphics card in an HP G62?
