Graphics card install..

[belongamick]

Greetings,

I'm have problems installing a PCI Radeon 9250 card. Currently the motherboard has a SIS graphics chip. Problem is the new card is recognised by the PC but will not fire up - presumably untill the SIS chip has been disabled??
How can I shut the chipset down?? The associated SIS software has been uninstalled while the ATI software has been loaded. Ideas or suggestions welcome...

Check in the bios for an option to disable the on board video. I think disabling the on board is unnecessary when installing an AGP card because the AGP slot is given priority but not so with a PCI card.

On my board with SiS chipset, you dont have to it boots auto with the graphics card, and my chipset is a few years old 661FX

All you have to do is disable the SiS display in device manager and uninstall the SiS drivers.
