I am trying to install a new 3DFORCE FX 5200TV video card into my Dell Optiplex GX270. If I install the card before installing the drivers, the monitor doesn't display anything. If I try to install the drivers first, the program that installs said drivers doesn't see the video card and hence cannot match a driver with it. It doesn't matter if I plug in the monitor to the old or the new video card, it doesn't show anything at all. The booklet tells me I may need to disable the old video card (as It cannot be removed, being attached to the motherboard) before installing the new one. I don't know how to do this. Is there anyone out there that could offer a suggestion that doesn't involve taking my computer to a shop which I cannot afford. Please help!|||Boot into the BIOS (press F2). Make sure Primay Video Controller is set to AGP. Save and shut down your system. Install the new AGP card. Restart. You should be good to go.
Good luck.|||If you have backed up your files you can do this:
1. Take out your hard drive and take it and install into a friend's computer and format the hard drive.
2. Keep the computer stock, don't put in the new graphics card.
3. Reinstall all necessary software and drivers BUT the graphics card and motherboard.
4. Install the new graphics card and install the drivers for it.
5. Keep your fingers crossed, hope it works.
Oh, and if you haven't backed up your files, use your friend's computer to do that too.|||Okay, go into the BIOS setup program, hit F1 if you need help with a highlighted function and locate Integrated video.
You'll have to disable it, save, reboot and shut off the computer and install the card.
Mine automatically finds the card and shuts out the integrated one.
Look it up on youtube, post a video if necessary asking for help or how to disable the integrated video card.
