BIOS how to remove graphics card in

[ashleyc]

Hi,

I have a Packard Dell desktop with Windows Vista and recently my graphics card burned out (to such an extent that I can’t use it again to disable). I took my PC to PC World and the assistant in the shop replaced my graphics card with a nvidia GeeForce 8400GS. He told me that when I got home I’d need to disable my old graphics card, but when I turn on my computer to do this all I see is a black screen with the white mouse icon (picture below):





I have therefore started the computer in BIOS by pressing F2 on start-up to try to disable my graphics card but am unable to see what I need to change / do?

The main menu options are:

1) Main Menu
I. IDE Channel 0 Master
II. IDE Channel 0 Slave
III. IDE Channel 2 Master
IV. IDE Channel 3 Master

2) Advanced
3) CPU Config
4) Advanced BIOS
5) Advanced Chip set features
6) Integrated Peripherals
7) Power Management Set-up
8) PNP / PCI Config
9) PC Health Status

What menu do I need to go into / what specifically do I need to change?

Once changed what are the next steps? Do I then need to remove any programs / hardware once in Windows Vista before I install the new graphics card software?

Any advice is much appreciated

Thanks

Ashley

I am sure that the card would be an integrated one. Usually the settings do not change at all in the bios unless and until you have done some kind of bios upgrade in it.

Usually the integrated graphics card are found under PCI devices in the BIOS. So do go ahead and find it there, that is what i want to say here.
