Disabling an intergrated vid card

Ok just purchased a new vid card for my hp pavilion 6600f which is vista 64 bit based. I need to disable the intergrated vid card but i have no idea ive seen several sites that say shut off the switch on the mother board, otheres say delete the nvidia 7100 drivers...another says to do it from the bios..
i put in the new card, and started the computer and hit f10 and went to the bios part where i can change the vid to pci express. but i have to say im lost here any suggestions or web sites to what i can do. Im pretty much a non puter guru so ill need something in steps lol.

If you have changed it to PCI Express and there is no other setting referencing onboard graphics in the BIOS, then you have disabled the onboard graphics. All you need to do is install the latest drivers and software for your new card (from the website of ATI or Nvidia) and you're good to go.

Hello ,
It looks like your DXDiag report is showing only an integrated graphics card. Being an Apple computer with an i7, it should have a dedicated video card as well. You may need to contact Apple support so they can help you either disable the integrated graphics card or update any software they use that will aid the computer in switching between the two graphics chips.

The Early 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro has only got one graphic card, and this is the integrated card, Intel HD Graphics 3000.
Some games don't support this type of GPUs, and it looks like Assassin's Creed is one of them, so unfortunately, you can't run the game in this MacBook

Vid card issues I think??

Good day, I'm having some major issues with my card "I think"
When playing MOH Pacific Assault, Battlefield Vietnam, and Doom3 my sys locks up and/or I get major video corruption. I have tried updating all of the drivers forward and backward and no luck . One error that I get says that the Vid card got stuck in a loop. I have gone to the Nvida and EA site and no help. The only thing that I found was that their is a known issue with MOB running with Nforce 3 chips and to uninstall the GART driver "No idea how???" Here is the post on that, some of it doesn't apply (ATI, Punk Buster,
"This combination of hardware has been reported to freeze gameplay, and is due to a combination of these hardware elements. Resolving this issue has become a stalemate between ATI, Nvidia and Evenbalance. Here is some information which may help you address this issue:
Problem does not occur on non-Punkbuster servers.
This problem seems specific to WinXP.
Removal of the Nvidia GART Driver clears this problem up.
Reverting to ATI's 3.9 seems to clear this up for some.
Reducing the AGP aperture size reduces the amount of delay.
Decreasing the PB scan frequency with pb_sleep decreases the frequency of the freezes.
Changing from an ATI to Nvidia card seems to have eliminated problems for many users."
Any idaes???? Thanks..

Hi,
I wouldn't remove the GART driver. I have a NF3/6800 Ultra OC setup and I disabled fastwrites in my system bios to resolve loops and freezes. The combo works wonders now!
Good Luck,
You want to try the easiest solutions first and turning off fast writes would be a good place to start as suggested. If it is not implemented properly it can cause instability.
There are also a few other settings that should be in there you can try messing with such as AGP Aperture, 4X or 8X...etc.
I also would use 3DMark 2001 as a stability test. It pretty much runs with every video card and drivers out there. Using a game might not be a good idea because a lot of games have problems with certain drivers or certain cards. At least if it passed 3DMark you would have some idea its not the drivers, card or even gart.
If it doesn't pass 3DMark then I would start looking at your motherboard drivers (GART). The chance of 3DMark not working with any version of Nvidia drivers is very slim unless they are corrupted.
To uninstall the GART you would go into device manager and right click it and uninstall. Windows will restart and try to install drivers on it's own. You can cancel it by clicking on the icon in the system tray if your quick enough. (WinXP)
Another way to do it, is just updating the drivers by again going into device manager, right clicking and this time picking update drivers.
You should have the drivers you want to use on the computer somewhere like maybe the desktop.
Another thing you can try is reinstaling DirectX, that is one of those easy things that doesn't hurt anything to try. Also make sure your video card is not overheating in the case. Open the case and have a house fan blowing on it while you try 3DMark or playing a game.
One last thing when you look in device manager the GART might not be listed as GART, at least on my NF7-S it is not listed that way. The GART would be anything related to AGP under "System Devices"

Help! Need a quick answer about motherboard + vid card

Hi everyone,
Okay I am pretty scared right now. I got a new vid card, the MSI n9008gt. I also got a 6pin PCI connector for my power supply to power the card. I have a 450watt power supply. And my motherboard is a GeForce7050M.
I put my card in, I attached the power supply to the card, and then plugged it in and pushed the power button.
I hear my motherboard fan, my HD, and the vid card fan. But no display, and nothing else... I think to myself, hmmm. So I unplug my card and take it out and use the intergrated card, and the fan starts up and my HD starts up, but still nothing happens. The motherboard doesn't even beep... Did I fry my motherboard....? :( This is what I fear the most.
(and no I'm not on that PC right now this is an older one.)

Something is o/c my vid card

ive read some posts that mentioned this but i have never had it happen in my own system. but now for some random reason i checked my clock freq and it now shows

i had just been leaving it at stock 350/1000
WHAT IS O/CING MY VID CARD???
im running 61.77

Yes these were my posts.I discovered my Radeon 9800 Pro was being o/ced and producing artifacts when using i think bios 1.2 beta.The same happened with 1.3 beta and switching the option NV/ATI acceleration to disabled didn't help.Now i'm using 1.48B and the problem seems to have gone away.
Try flashing to this bios and see if the problems go away.Then post your results.

How do I disable the onboard Sound card in BIOS on the Equium A200

I am using a Creative Sound Blaster external soundcard but the recording level is very low and have been advised by Creative to disable the onboard sound card in BIOS but there is no option to do this. Can anyone help ?

Hi
You cannot disable it in the BIOS.
If you want to disable the sound card you can do this in the device manager!
cheers

Dual ADC displays and a vid card w/ no ADC ?

Hi.
I've got a PowerMac G4 with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro vid. card. I bought it when I purchased my 17" Apple display not knowing that the Apple display had its own connector that required me to but a $99 adaptor that also requires a power cord!
Anyway, my old CRT (that acted as my 2nd display on the G4) finally died. I purchased a nice 15" Apple display, but apparently forgot to consider the ADC connection.
I need a cheap, fast solution.
I've got a G4 with the 9800 Radeon which has a DVI and VGA connection.
By the way, does having 128MB DDR of video ram help with rendering time??
Ok, back to the original question.
I also have the original video card that came with the PowerMac G4 1.2mhz Quicksilver. I believe it's an 9000 Radeon. It's got an ADC and VGA connection.
How can I setup a dual display on the G4 with the two Apple displays? Both are ADC and neither card has (2) ADC connections.
I've got two ADC to DVI convertors and I have the VGA to DVI convertor that came with my 17" apple display, but the DVI end doesnt match the DVI end on the 2nd ADC to DVI convertor.
Any suggestions? Is there a dual ADC video card?

Hi
As far as I'm aware, the Radeon 9000 that came as the stock graphics card in certain PowerMacs had an ADC connector and a DVI connector. It also came with a DVI to VGA adapter. If this is the case you should be able to attach one monitor directly to the ADC connector and the other to the DVI connector using the $99 DVI to ADC adapter. You'd be losing the benefit of the Radeon 9800 though.
Unfortunately there aren't any graphics cards with dual ADC connectors, as the card (and AGP slot) would have to provide enough juice to power two monitors. The options seem to be:
1. One AGP card with an ADC connector and DVI connector, which would require one DVI to ADC adapter, such as the Radeon 9000.
2. One AGP card with two DVI connectors, which would require two DVI to ADC adapters, such as the Radeon 9600 retail version. Mines worked perfectly, although there do seem to be problems with it in certain Quicksilvers and Digital Audio G4s.
3. One AGP card with a DVI connector, which would require a DVI to ADC adapter, such as your existing Radeon 9800 and one PCI card with a DVI connector, which would also require a DVI to ADC adapter, such as the Radeon 9200. An AGP card with an ADC connector would also work but seems pointless given you've already got the 9800 and adapter.
Unfortunately I'm not sure there is a really cheap solution. As already mentioned, there are VGA to DVI converter boxes on the market, but they're incredibly expensive and you'd be converting from digital to analogue and back to digital, with some loss of quality.

Ho to disable (Built in) Audio card in MacBook Pro?

Ho to disable (Built in) Audio card in MacBook Pro?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The only thing that I might suggest is to plug a lone Toslink miniplug adapter into the audio port. This activates the digital audio. The digital audio shuts off within a few seconds if there is no audio signal being routed through the port.

ATI vid.card trouble shoot guide

True,
There seem to be some stabilty issues with ATI, all of which can be overcome.
First is the VPU recover option. That option makes it less stable and does nothing beneficial, best turn it off.
Also faste write (bios option), it doesn't enhance performance, only decreases stabalitity.
If it is still unstable, set AGP to 4x. This makes it slighly (less then 1pct. ) slower, but might make it more stable.
Other drivers occasionly might help. For older cards, older drivers are best suitable. E.g. a R9700 runs best on Cat 4.5. Do make sure the driver you use supports the DirectX version that you need !
Last resort is upping the AGP voltage (no more then 0,1v !). If it is still instable, RMA it !
Despite the issues, I still think ATI makes very good vid.cards. My next card wil probably be an ATI again

And I thougt you were my friend
Look here for the performance difference fast write and AGP4x make:
http://www.pctuning.cz/Default.aspx?CatID=75&LayId=2&ArtId=19189&ChapID=4944
These tests have been done with a 9700PRO the difference will probably be more significant with a faster card.
Furthermore, take into account that a 9600 draws from the 5v line, the 9700, 9800 and X800 draw from the 12v line as well.

Vid card for TV to HD Display yet?????/

Aloha All,
I am wondering where to find a vid card that allows cable hookup to see tv on my 30" HD display. I am not looking for a unit to record TV. I am looking for a card to fit into the pci express slot and be able to do both computer and TV functions on my 30" display and preferably in HD of course.
Ideally one card with a cable input and DVI out, and or one with a switch to go back and forth.
Does anyone know if anyone has make the like and if so where, ($$$$ not an issue), Maybe I should make one my self. What do you think?

Disable the wireless network card upon connection.

Has anyone done the following, if so can you provide some insite on how to do it and how well it works....If wireless networking is not being used in the organization, it is possible for CSA to disable
the wireless network card when it is connected to the corporate network. I'm assuming by using the system
state variable with the rule, you can allow laptop users the ability to use wireless when they are
not connected to the corporate network.

I dont' see a system state "ethernet active" do I create this? I'm on CSA version 5.1.0.103. I have a system state called network which has the description of All users who are logged on via a network connection. Is that the same thing you mean? Then how do I create the rule? I get to where I have a NAC rule but I'm not for sure what to choose after that.

Mega 180-----Media Center III and a Vid Card----Working???

I'm trying to narrow down what is causing Media Center III to crash intermittently on my Mega 180.
I think I have it narrowed down to the SoundStorm drivers conflicting with Media Center III
But I want to eliminate that it is a problem with the 18G "Crush" onboard video chipset. I am using the onboard only.
Anybody have a vid card in their AGP slot of the Mega 180 and use Media Center III??
Are you still getting crashes in Media Center III??
John

Finally I give up using the Media Center. I'm using now Girder with Nathans great plug in (see MSI Mega series girder plugin version 1.0 available ). The only disadvantage is that the fancy leds are not working.

Disable my airport extreme card

hello all. i have recently bought a WN825 pcmcia card for my powerbook g4. It has a broadcom chipset so when plugged in it tricks the airport software into thinking its an airport extreme card. The problem is having two wireless cards connected at the same time causes a conflict and i often get problems when booting up.
naturally, i have tried to disable airport via the main tool bar but it also disables the pcmcia card. i basically need to disable the airport extreme card but keep the airport software running so that it recognises my broadcom third party card. (recognised as cardbus). i have also tried to disable port config in prefs, but again this disables airport completely.
i have searched discussions and found only 1 archived post on this which didn't help. there must be a way of doing this?
any help much appreciated.

Here you go:
If you have an original Airport card installed and don't want to remove it, go to:
/System/Library/Extensions
Rename the following files by adding the suffix ".disabled" to each:
AppleAirPort.kext
AppleAirPortFW.kext
Remove the following kext cache files:
/System/Library/Extensions.mkext
/System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
Reboot.
The above is a summary. You must do this in a Terminal window and you must use sudo thusly:
sudo tcsh
Password: <<yourAdministratorpassword>>
cd /System/Library/Extensions
mv AppleAirPort.kext AppleAirPort.kext.disabled
mv AppleAirPortFW.kext AppleAirPortFW.kext.disabled
rm Extensions.mkext
rm Extensions.kextcache
<Control-D>
Close the Terminal window
Reboot.
Caveats: You could screw up a lot of things easily if you do anything else while root in a Terminal window. BE CAREFUL.
Remember, it's YOUR PowerBook G4, not mine and hence your risk.

How do i fix this problem with my vid cards

well now i got my fx5900xt and i just ran 3dmark03 on my whole computer ran every test and i got a score of a little over 4800 (thats on everything) and i noticed on the tests it did that heart beating thing again
how can i fix this?
i also ran it just on my vid card with the anisotropy turned down to 1 and set the resolution to 800x600 and i got a little over 5700 but it still had that heart beting thing again thru the tests

how would i go about finding this ??
