Graphics card problem?

Closed

Okay if you saw my other thread,you know I got a graphics card and a new power supply today.

But when I installed it and set my computer up,I plug my VGA cable into the output of the graphics card,but nothing is happening.It just shows the no signal screen. But when I plug it up into the VGA slot for the integrated card,it works fine.I'm pretty sure it's fine,it doesn't have any of the pin-slots so I couldn't hook it up to the power supply,I thought it would just work without the extra power and I looked online and that's what it said. So,can anyone tell me why it wont show on my new graphics card?

Go into the bios and make sure its set to "peg"(PCI-E Graphics) first
Hope this helps

A couple things you may have to do:
1 - Get into your motherboard's BIOS menu (usually pressing a button during boot-up, it should tell you what button on the boot-up screen at some point) and once you are in, configure the BIOS to disable to onboard graphics device, or set it to use PCI-E graphics as the default.

2 - Go into the device manager (Start > control panel > device manager, or right click on "my computer" and select "manage") and find the integrated graphics device and disable it.

But how will I do that if the graphics card won't work? Do I just keep it hooked to the onboard graphics,do the BIOS thing,and it will turn off the onboard graphics and I plug the VGA cable into the graphics card?

Hmm, have you gone into the BIOS and changed the primary graphics adapter to use the new card instead of the iGPU?

Edit: Geez, some of you guys are just too quick. lol
