Vid card hang-ups!
Ok, here is the deal. I have a Dell that has an onboard factorry vid card. I bought a Nividia Gforce 4 vid card. I installed the new one, when I boot up(plugged into the nvidia card)the dell logo comes up, followed by the xp loading bar. Then my screen goes black and stays that wasy. Also, the power light on the monitor blinks from green to orange. When I am plugged into the factory card, i get none of that, just after the pc boots up, I get the blue xp welcome screen and then my desktop. The only way I can access my bios is through the nvidia card. Any ideas to make my Nvidia card the only card I use. *Also, I had the nvidia card in, and it worked fine. Then my pc crashed and I haven't been able to get it to work right since. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

Just a thought, but is there an option in the BIOS to disable the onboard video?
Give us the Dell system model #, and we might be able to get the exact answer for you. |

The 845G series boards automatically disable the onboard video when you put an AGP card in, but not a PCI card. I haven't seen a Dell with a jumper for anything except clear cmos in a long time.
