Video Card Problem

[ihatepopups]

i just bought a video card today, a Leadtek PX6600 TD Geforce 6600 256 mb PCI express card , and when i went home i put it into my Dell 4700 Dimension everything fit in place. when i hooked up my monitor into my graphics card and turned on my computer, nothing shows up on the monitor. Can someone please help me out????

"links show u the specs"

wow i like you that is the most thorough first post i've seen. my bet is that you need to disable the onboard graphics. plug the monitor cable back into the onboard and see if anything comes on screen.

you push F1 or del to enter the bios, and change the primary or initial display to your new card...

Go into device manager(i.e. right click on my computer, click properties, click the hardware tab, and click device manager). Find your integrated graphics under the display adapter menu, right click your Intel Integrated Graphics, click disable....restart the computer, plug your monitor back into your new graphics card and you should be alright.

if he changes the initial display, their is a chance that he could set up duel displays...

well i went to device manager then display adapter menu, the only two things below it was Intel (R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family (theres two of them). i disabled both and it still doesnt work >.>

well, if there are two of them, then that probably means that the driver for your onboard card is installed twice or something... remove one of them...

then:

you push F1 or del to enter the bios, and change the primary or initial display to your new card...

You might want to go into safe mode and uninstall your previous video driver.

i tried uninstalling, disabling, that didnt work

i went to BIOS and there was no option for disabling onboard video
