Comment:
I know it's a lot but please try to read it. I have an integrated Intel 82810e graphics card which is pretty good, but I want better. I just bought an Xtasy GeForce 2 MX400 64 mb PCI card. Before I installed it I disabled my Intel card by unchecking "Exists in all hardware profiles" in display adapters under device manager. After I inserted the PCI card and turned on my comp everything seemed like it was going well. I put in the cd and installed the drivers for the PCI card and was prompted to reboot my machine, so I did. After rebooting, my comp started acting stupid. It froze for 2 minutes at the login screen, then unfroze and let me type in my password to log into windows. Then it froze again for a few minutes and then started loading windows. It kept freezing at random places until windows fully loaded (all the system tray icons were there) and then just froze completely. I rebooted a few more times and it had the same symptoms. How do I properly disable my integrated Intel card so I can use my GeForce2 MX400 PCI card?! By the way, there's nothing in my bios about disabling it. It says Video Boot Mode and to the right it shows how much memory will be allocated to my intel card. I can either choose 512 kb or 1 mb. To the side of the system bios it has information regarding what changing the memory allocation does. At the bottom it talks about disabling the card, and it says just click on disable to disable it. THERE IS NO DISABLE! The only options are 512 kb or 1 mb, NO DISABLE! I need real help here on how to disable and get rid of my integrated card and install my Xtasy GeForce 2 MX400 64 PCI card. Please help. I really would appreciate it.
How do I replace the onboard video with an add-in PCI video adapter? The primary video adapter can be changed from the onboard AGP to an add-in PCI adapter through the desktop board BIOS Setup utility. The setting is located in the Advanced screen under Video Configuration.
I istalled a ATI READEON 32MB card on my system , running Windows Me. Mine had i810 intergrated graphics. I did as you disabling the intergrated graphics in device manager. One thing I had to do after that was let the system install the standard VGA software B/4 installing the software for the graphics card !
There is nothing about disabling my integrated Intel 810e card under device manager. It only says "Exists in all hardware profiles" and can be checked or unchecked. If anyone could help please do cuz this is freegen frustrating as hell.
Not sure if this is what your looking for, system properties click the (view devices by connection) click plus box beside (ACPI) BIOS,than box beside (PCI) bus highlight system and graphics controller click properties and the option is at the bottom.let me know if this is it. good luck, snap.
I looked under PCI bus and found something that I can disable called "Intel(r)82810e DC-133 System and Graphics Controller" Is this what I disable? If this isn't what I'm supposed to do tell me what to do.
Ok, that didn't work. Some help me out and tell me how to get rid of the integrated card. Once again, it's an Intel 810e and there is nothing in both the device manager and bios about disabling it. PLEASE HELP.
In Device Manager, what is listed under Display Adaptors ? And, do you have a motherboard manual - might have info in there about disabling onboard video. There could be a jumper on the board to change if you are missing the Disable option in the BIOS.
Under Display Adapters it says Intel(r)82810e Graphics Controller and when I click properties it just has an option to check or uncheck it existing in all hardware profiles. Nothing called Disable in this Hardware Profile. Also, I don't have a motherboard manual.
Didn't the new PCI card show up in Device Manager ? Try removing the onboard graphics adaptor from Device Manager and see if the new PCI card gets detected on bootup. Don't install drivers yet - just let Windows install Standard VGA drivers. Now what does it say in Device Manager ?
I don't think u understand the problem. In device manager, there is nothing that says disabling for my onboard Intel card. The PCI card shows up, but windows keeps freezing for a few minutes at random points and then unfreezes. I need to know why it's doing this and if it has to do with a conflict between the PCI card and onboard card.
I don't have a clue about how to do what you're trying to do, although i have heard not much performance can be gained by it as the PCI bus is much slower than the onboard's AGP architecture. If you still want to do it try posting your question at www.tomshardware.com
Well everyone, I fixed the problem. The problem lied in the IRQ settings. My video card was sharing an IRQ with my other vid card and was causing problems. Thanx anyway. O, and Teece, whoever told u that integrated AGP is better than PCI is a moron and doesn't know what thy're talking about. It's unbelievably faster, or at least mine is. Xtasy GeForce 2 MX400 64mb! Peace everyone.
Hello, Actually Oak is right the Xtasy GeForce 2 MX400 64mb is better because it has 64mb instead of 4mb that the I810E chip uses. I did that compare card test and found out that the G2 card is 200% faster. I have 490 mb of system Ram.
By the way I was looking for a motherboard to replace mine with the i810E chip. ( WHich I found that If you have A i810E chip motherboard and want to get the best Graphics chip out there an AGP slot one. Your best motherboard upgrade would be one with the intel 815EP chipset with an AGP slot. This would probably support most or all of your current computer hardware. Just make sure you get one that can fit in you computer case (close to your current motherboard dimensions ). Also one with the same screw hole alignments would be best. I have a smaller case and found out, I would have to sacrifice 1 pci slot for the 1 agp slot so it would fit.
Im also read you can use the i810e chip agp x1 with any pci card upgrade. Not sure though.
