I helped a friend put more memory in his computer and it and it went fine then I
disabled the onboard video in the bios
and installed a pci video card the system booted and brought me to the desktop.But it
was in like 4 bit it gave me the option
to change to 32 bit so iI selected that
and the computer went to a blue error screen
that says windows will not boot to prevent damage to the system. something about
uninstalling devices and stuff .So I took
out the video card and renabled the onboard
videoand still the same error screen. I don't know what to do please help me !!

Did you just take out the video card or did you uninstall it and get rid of the drivers? Try booting in safe mode.

First, make sure you have the current drivers for the new video card and make sure your monitor can display to resolution, so if you try to display a higher res you could damage your monitor.
A newer PC should handle 32 easily, but if it's got on board video, you may limited, even if you disable in the BIOS.
