AnswerThis question and related questions are fairly generic. The solution is the same for most brands of computers and video cards such as pci, pci-e 8x,16x (pci express), pci-x (and older and obselete standard).Solution steps:0. Make sure you have the latest version of the video driver from the vendor that made the card. Often the CD that shipped with it is a year out of date or more. If it came out before xp sp3 or vista sp1 the drive many not work right. So download the latest.
1. Turn on PC and enter the BIOS / CMOS by tapping the del key or delete key or F2 (Intel) or F10 (HP Compaq) F12 (Dell?).
2a. On most systems you do not need to disable the onboard video card. Open your PC, add your new video card and move the monitor plug from the onboard video port to the video card you just installed. On boot the computer will sense that there is no monitor connected to the onboard video port and will disable it or at least will redirect the screen output to the newly installed video card. However, once windows has been installed with the onboard video card it may be marked as the "default" video device and limit the ability of games to perform properly. Games also may detect the onboard video card and quit because the onboard card is not fast enough. If you are still having problems perform step 2b.
2b. Turn off the computer, move the monitor plug from the onboard video port to the video card you just added. Repeat step1 then navigate to "onboard devices", for Dell this will probably be labeled Video or Display Settings. Disable onboard video. Now save the setting you just made in the bios by pressing F10 or choosing the save from the menu, you may have to press ESC key to get to main menu. Now boot windows and install the drivers for your video card.
3. in extreme cases after following step 2b if you many have to reinstall windows with the onboard video card disabled so no drivers are ever installed. This is a "best practice" for serious gamers and results in the cleanest install. This way the onboard video card is never seen by windows and no drivers are present. Remember, driver files are usually left behind and are not removed by the uninstall. If you arn't ready to wipe off your system you could unplug your hard drive and plug in a test hard drive and perform a clean install windows (don't use the recovery disk) and test out if this yields better results).
Last resort: If you are still having problems with the uninstall, go into the device manager in windows and double click on the Intel video (or onboard video card), at the bottom of the page that comes up is "USE THIS DEVICE" choose instead to not use this device. Restart windows and see if this helps. Also make sure you have the most up to date drivers for the video card you are using and if so, right click on your desktop and choose properties and make sure the resolution and color depth are set to the correct settings, like 1024x768 32bit
Optional Reading:an example of an unusual and complex onboard video graphics driver situation:
Updated: 10-03-08 This system described in the next paragraphs is a "bare bones system" for oem's resellers / value added resellers. The bios is limited and does not have the ability to disable the onboard video card. Disable device is not an option, unfortunately, in windows 2000 sp4.
I am tasked with a project at work with an old samba PC (not to be confused with Linux) It's actually an FIC (first international computer) branded motherboard model VC37 revision IEM42 0601 with integrated Intel 845 graphics and the uninstaller fails to uninstall the driver both from the control panel and the actual driver in device manager. I added an old pci video card but the dispay is all wacky. In the bios turbo mode is disabled but there is no option to disable the onboaard video. Although the system correctly uses the addin video card the picture is a mess. Reloading the OS is not an option.
The uninstall for the Intel drivers fails to actually uninstall the drivers. I performed a manual "uninstall" by removing the entries in the registry and deleting the files used by the video card in c:\winnt\system32 and \winnt\...\drivers but that didn't help either.
A co-worker discovered that the newer asus 945G computer that we are trying to port the image to is setup for ACPI and while the older samba 845 is not, it is set to "standard PC". We now believe this difference is the core of our problem.

How do you replace an integrated video card?
An integrated video card is located on the motherboard itself and cannot be replaced. You can add a graphics card to one of the motherboard's slots though. It will then take over and the onboard graphics will not be used. To avoid any conflicts, you should disable the onboard graphics when adding a dedicated graphics card.
How can you disable an embedded component on the motherboard?
Generally, this is a very bad idea. The only instance in which I would ever do it is to disable an integrated graphics chip and use a deticated one. I have an article from EHow below.Many computers are purchased with integrated graphics built into the motherboard. Integrated graphics are getting more powerful all the time, but a dedicated graphics card is much more powerful than graphics integrated with your motherboard, according to the Microsoft website. To get more power and performance from your computer, upgrade to a dedicated graphics card. To change to a graphics card from integrated graphics, simply install your new video card.Instructions1Turn off your system and remove all cables from the rear panel of the computer tower. Flip the switch for the power supply to the off position if your computer's power supply has a power switch. Press the power button on the disconnected computer to release any stored charge the computer still holds in its motherboard.2Remove the screws that secure the computer's side panel. There are normally two to three screws securing the side panel of a computer tower. Newer computers sometimes use thumbscrews or latches to keep the side panel in place.3Open the computer case by removing the side panel. Place the computer on its side to allow easy access to the computer's expansion slots located on the motherboard. Touch the metal casing on your computer's power supply to ground yourself and prevent static electricity from damaging your system.4Align your graphics card with the motherboard's expansion slot and press it firmly down to insert the new video card. Secure your new graphics card to the rear panel of your computer with a single computer case screw to keep it in place. Connect the graphics card to your computer's power supply if your card requires an external source of power.5Replace the side panel of the computer and tighten the screws that keep the side of the computer case secure. Attach your computer cables to the rear panel of your computer case and turn your computer's power supply switch to the on position. Double-check that you have connected your monitor cable to the newly installed video card. Press the power button on the front panel of your computer to boot your system.6Turn on your computer monitor to ensure your monitor is receiving a signal from the new graphics card. Your motherboard will automatically detect that a card is plugged into the expansion slot, and use the installed graphics card for video.7Insert the driver installation disk and follow the installation media's instructions. If necessary, restart your computer to apply the new driver settings and configuration for your graphics card.
Can you install another graphics card on your computer when you have an Intel 82865G Graphics Controller?
Yes, that is determined by the ports on your motherboard. Once you have a card that will work then you will go into the BIOS and disable the on-board graphics
My computer says Load Error Press a key to rebootI continue comp reboots comes back to load error I used the recovery diskthey fully completedtold to restart did and came back to load err. scrn?
Replace the graphics card and disable the graphics card if it is integrated on the mother board. Bad graphics/video cards or messed up drivers will cause load errors most often.
Can you disable an installed program?
yes
When installing a new video card there are three phases What are they?
Configuring the BIOS for the video card being installed Physically installing the video card Installing drivers for the video card Remove old video card from your computer (if you use on-board skip this step) Attach the new video card to your computer. Start Computer using on-board video and install drivers. Attach monitor to new card, if it still doesn't work disable on-board video in your bios. If everything is installed properly and computer has significant power graphics card should work properly.
Is it possible to change built in graphics card?
No not normally. The IC package and pin-outs are usually proprietary to that chip. It is possible, with an available expansion slot to add an additional graphics card and disable the integrated chip. Currently most videocards are PCI-E based (interface) with some AGP (interface) variations still around.
How can you disable your onboard video card?
Start menu>My Computer-right click then properties>Hardware>Device Manager. Then just click on the device you want to optimize ( In this case your video card) so click on it's name(What your graphics card is called) then just disable.
Why does your computer monitor go black while watching a video or playing a game?
I need a little more information to give you a "good" answer. I suspect that you might need codecs, your computer memory and/or video memory may be too little or even your graphics (onboard or graphics card) is not up to par. You might even have your screen resolution up too high. Try setting your resolution way down to 600X800 just to troubleshoot. (right click the desktop-select "properties"-select settings tab-slide the bar to lower the resolution. You might even drop down your color quality) Also, right clicking your "my computer" and selecting "properties" will give you your basic processor and RAM infomation. In the same box that pops up, select "hardware" then "device manager" and finally click the plus sign on your graphics to get the current graphics installed. If you installed a new graphics card and didn't disable the onboard gaphics, you will get conflicts. Like I said, I need more information.
Win32 exe having option send and don't send if option select don'tsend the computer get hanged?
It is not recommended to disable the win32.exe on your computer. It is used on almost all windows-based computer to ensure the proper running of the computer and some certain programs installed. That is why the computer get hanged when you do not select it.
