Disabling onboard graphic in a KM3M-V

Hello,
I am not sure to have correctly disabled the on board graphic chipset in the KM3M-V BIOS. I would like to use my current Radeon 9000 ATI AGP grapgic board.
I have the latest BIOS version but there is no "disable onboard graphic chipset " option and no any clear explanation about this in the "installation guide".
Is it enough to put the shated memory to "0" ? No any other change to do ?
Thank you very much for your help.
Eric

In ControlPanel you can tell Windows what sound device you like to use. And you can inactivate the onboard sound card in Device Manager. In BIOS - I haven't checked this one out - the title would be Integrated Peripherals I believe.
If I am understanding you right, it look in Control Panel I have the new Soundblaster Card selected. I presume you are talking about going into Control Panel - Sounds and Multimedia - then the Audio tab. Once there the Soundblaster card is showing in the dropdowns for Playback and Recording; and under MIDI playback it lists Creative Soundfont Synth.
In Device Manager it doesn't look like anything is disabled. Again, presuming where I am supposed to be looking (ie, Device Manager - Sound, Video and Game Controllers) I still see the following:
Audio codecs
Legacy audio drivers
Legacy video capture devices
Media control devices
Soundblaster Live! 24-bit
Unimodem half-duplex audio device
Video codecs
None of the items have any indication that that are disabled or not working properly.
I will check the BIOS, but I did set that to disabled.

K9N2 Diamond - Can't Disable Onboard Graphics

Hello all,
I have a peculiar problem (or maybe it isn't problem at all):
If I select to disable the onboard graphic chip in BIOS, the system halts (complete freeze) after memory check, only way out is to force shutdown and BIOS reset.
On board, there are four little status leds, when the onboard graphics is disabled, they are (looking from the "back" of board) from left to right: green-red-green-red. I haven't been able to find out what the sequence means, looks to me like MSI has never published the codes.
The freeze happens whether I have quickboot enabled or not.
My system specs are:
MSI K9N2 Diamond
AMD Phenom 9850 BE
XFX GeForce 8800 GT Alpha Dog 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI
8 GB Corsair DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 XMS2 DHX
2x Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB S300 RAID 1
CoolerMaster 700W REAL POWER PRO MODULAR PSU
Lian-Li SILVER CLASSICAL SERIES
Philips Brilliance 200W 20.1"
BIOS version is 2.0 (not flashed).
The XFX card works perfectly and when both cards are active, I have no issues with system at all (all works perfectly). Also RAM has passed Memtest++ several times and is correctly detected and configured by BIOS (800MHz).
All BIOS settings affecting performance are in their defaults (no overclocking, no voltage tweaking etc).
The problem is that I can't set these two cards to SLi nor MultiGPU because they are not identical (please correct me if I'm wrong in that).
The problem is that both cards now want to run separate monitor (I only got one I can use permanently) meaning that I either won't see boot messages or I won't see desktop depending on which card I have the monitor connected on.
So, in brief, here's my questions are:
Do you know why disabling the onboard chip freezes POST?
Do you know a solution to this problem?
If you answer "yes" to either or both above, please tell me too what is the reason and what is the solution

Hi and thanks for the reply.
Just to be sure what you mean:

You should be able to disable onboard while monitor cable is connected to the 8800, should even be automatically disabled.
You mean having monitor connected to both cards and then disable the onboard chip?
Quote from: Fredrik on 02-November-08, 20:54:10
Could have to do with the Hybrid SLI feature . Disable if you don't want it.
That's disabled currently (you can't disable onboard chip if it's enabled).
Quote from: Fredrik on 02-November-08, 20:54:10
As BIOS seems to be involved, what BIOS version do you have?
Original 2.0 (shipped with board).

Everything is running fine with Vista 64 installed. I know that when I install a PCIE vid card it should override the onboard but it is not doing so. When I go into device manager the GTX260 I have installed in the dark blue PCIE slot (closet to CPU) does not show up at all.
Under periphials in the BIOS the only option I see is "primary VGA" or something similar and it gives me 2 options. PCI or PCIE. I have PCIE selected. Should I update the BIOS to see if it will add another BIOS option? (I am scared to mess with the BIOS)
Or can I just install the Nvidia drivers and see what happens? Maybe take out the GTX260 and put it back in and reboot??
Sorry for all the silly questions but this is my first attempt at building my own PC and it has gone great so far but I am at a loss now.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
I am a novice at this as well so am I correct in assuming that it is ok to have an Nvidia card in the PCIE slot even though the onboard video is ATI based??

Yes I have the monitor hooked up to the GTX260 connection and I am getting a picture fine even though the 260 is not showing up in the device manager. It shows "standard VGA adaptor" in the device manager. That is why I was going to just install the latest drivers for the 260 and see what happens.

Netvista 6648 and NVIDIA graphics / disable onboard video?

Hello,
I recently acquired a Netvista 6648 PIII machine, which I intended to put to use as a MythTV frontend. The system is equipped with a PCI riser. To provide TV-Out functionality, I purchased a simple PCI (not PCI-e) NVIDIA card. I have a similar model in another frontend of mine, which has been working great for some time at this point.
Unfortunately, the machine seems to not want to allow the graphics card to be the default output device. In the BIOS, there is an option, which is selected, to 'prefer PCI.' However, the VGA-out of the onboard Intel chipset is never disabled and/or the PCI graphics card is never enabled.
lspci reports a video device plugged into the bus -- any thoughts?

I finally fixed it. After flashing back to the newest bios, I did a hard CMOS clear and booted with just the mouse and keyboard plugged in to the top USB plugs (no LAN or audio hooked up) and it allowed me to disable it finally.
Every motherboard can disable onboard video... Just because it is part of the 790GX chipset doesn't mean it can't be disabled. There is some sort of bug I don't even know how to reproduce for this motherboard.
edit: after saving and restarting it took away the disabled option and only went back to UMA or UMA+Sideport. MSI engineers and/or bios team fails hard. This is the only board I've ever seen act this stupid.

Disabling nvidia graphics on T410

After reading stuff like http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=83649 I don't really want to understand the details on why my T410 does not have switchable graphics, as it looks Lenovo shipped it saying it had and then disabled the switch in the software tool.
I have a T410 with nVidia NVS 3100M (2522w2a).
I am not looking on being able to switch graphics on runtime, but I would like to disable the nVidia card completely (works like crap on Linux, specially with software suspend).
Is there a way I can disable/remove it and use onboard graphics (if the machine has), or that I can remove it and replace it to another discrete card?.
Cheers
Duncan

It is not practical on (most) notebooks because the card is part of the system board. A notebook that allows you to do so is a rarity.

Onboard graphics Z87-G41 PC MATE

Hi all,
I am cross posting from another board hoping someone can help me out on this one!
This weekend I was able to piece everything together and install the OS for the first time. However, I had the intentions of utilizing the onboard graphics on my MSI mobo to run an extended desktop until I can decide on a GPU.
The following are components of this build:
Intel i5 4670k
Thermaltake Water 2.0 Pro 81.3 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Sandisk 32gb SSD
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDD
Corsair 550D Case
Thermaltake 600w PSU
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
I am able to work on the computer without the GPU without any issue for the time being, but before I add a new card I would like to run extended desktop. I work primarily in excel and its just a convenience to have the extended desktop. I know the onboard graphics for this mobo supports three display outputs and I currently have two hooked up, (DVI and HDMI) but I am only able to mirror the displays. In display settings only one monitor is recognized. I have enabled the multiple display setting in the bios as well.
Anyone encounter this issue or know how I can set up two displays? I know a new GPU will easily fix this but it could be some time before I decide on a card as I won't be doing any gaming until work slows down.
Thanks!
Michael

Have you enabled multi-monitor support in the BIOS? (Settings\Advanced)
By default it would seem to be disabled, the manual states:
"IGD Multi-Monitor [Disabled]
Enables or disables the multi-screen output from integrated graphics and external
graphics card. To support the Lucid Virtu MVP Technology, please enable this
item.
[Enabled] Enables IGD multi-screen function.
[Disabled] Disables IGD multi-screen function."

Disabling integrated graphic

hi,
i have a problem installing an ASUS Geforce4 Ti 4200 AGP card into MSI K7N2G-L board, as my pc refused to boot with AGP card onboard. Is there any way of disabling the integrated graphics, as I did't find the option in bios.
many thanks

hi
to disable onboard gfx just install an agp card.
it is possible you did something wrong during the installation like not insert the agp card correctly or a cable got loose during the install or it could also be a hardware failure.
can you post the poweroutput on the .3v 5v and 12v rails on the psu.
check for loose cables.
uninstall ALL gfx drivers before you change gfx card.

K9N6PGM2-V2 DISABLE ONBOARD VGA INSTALL 6600 PCI-e

Hi All
I have put together a basic multimedia computer for a friend using all new parts (listed below) All went well with the XP install and it seems to be running fine, Another pleasant build apart from the graphics>
I want to disable the onboard graphics and use a NEW MSI 6600 (non SLI) graphics card basically for the dual view and S-VIDEO output options, I have set the preference in the BIOS to PCI-E disabling the onboard VGA, I connected the monitor to the 6600 but no picture is displayed and found the onboard VGA is still working, Would I need to remove the onboard drivers to be able to use the 6600?
K9N6PGM2-V2 MOBO
SEMPRON 140 2.7GHz AM3 CPU
CORSAIR XMS2 512mb x2 RAM
A-POWER 680W PSU
Any help would be greatly appreciated

okay I hope this helps because i had a similar problem where my gtx 275 coop would not display unless the onboard vga was installed, but i have an msi nf980-g65 mobo, so i'm hoping this can help. so before doing anything switch your setting that should be called "Primary Graphics Adapter" to "Internal" if thats what it says in your bios, (you can have the graphics card in or out of the pc its fine) then go into windows if you have it installed, then go to device manager and delete the onboard vga from the display adapters. then download the latest drivers for your card (you don't need the card to be recognized or installed to download the drivers) but dont install the drivers yet, then download Driver Sweeper, reboot into safe mode then open driver sweeper, and check every box related to nvidia, then clean it. (also if windows reinstalled the drivers for the onboard vga, delete it again from the device manager and clean the drivers again with driver sweeper) then install the latest drivers for your graphics card, it should already be on your desktop or wherever you saved it to. then reboot and see if your graphics card picks up video, and then if it does go into windows and look in the device manager and if your onboard vga and your graphics card are shown in device manager, then don't do anything and reboot into the BIOS and set the primary graphics adapter back to PCI-E and i'm not sure where its located but look into the chipset feature option or wherever and it should show a setting called Onboard VGA or Integrated VGA and set it to disabled, then it should take off the onboard vga from the computer and your graphics card should still pick up a video signal. but the feature would only pop up for me if the graphic card was enabled so look hard for it. i hope this helps cause i had that same problem where it need the mGPU enabled for the 275 to be enabled

Can't seem to disable onboard video on MSI motherboard 661FM3-L

I have the following motherboard: MSI 661FM3-L. I'm running a Pentium 4 3.0Ghz with 1gb Ram on it. The motherboard works fine when I use the onboard video. I've now installed an ATI PowerColor 256 AGP 8x graphics card but the motherboard doesn't seem to use it. I plug the monitor into the graphics card and I can see the boot screen and go to bios but when windows begins to load the screen is all scrambled and then the monitor goes blank. I've changed in bios the first video setting (i'm not currently infront of the computer but its something along those lines) from PCI to AGP but I've noticed that when the systems first boots, on the first screen on the bottom line it shows the details of the onboard video card - SIS 651. It does not display the first splash screen of the ATI video card and so I'm guessing the onboard video is not properly disabled. I've checked the user manual and it does not state if there are any jumpers I need to change on the motherboard or if I need to change anything in BIOS. Can anyone help.
Thanks

apologies for lack of detail:
System:
MSI 661FM3-L
Intel P4 3.0GHz
1gb KingMax DDR400 DIMM
Western Digital 80Gb HDD
BIOS - latest update from MSI Live Update
WinXP + SP2 + all latest Windows Updates
Problem:
System works fine using on-board video.
Install PowerColor ATI 9600 Pro 256MB DDR AGP 8X video card, plug monitor to video card, system boots fine but when it gets to windows loading screen, the screen is all jumbled and then eventually screen goes black and monitor receives no signal. Attempted to load in windows Safe Mode and same thing happens.
Checked BIOS settings. Can't find anything to disable onboard video other then the "first video" setting which I changed from PCI to AGP.
The first boot screen which displays Memory count and Primary and Slave drives, displays a message on the bottom of the screen saying "SiS651" which is the name of the onboard video. Also there is no first splash screen of the ATI video card which I'm pretty sure should be seen before the first boot screen.
Performed MSI LiveUpdate of BIOS in DOS mode and this didn't change anything.
Video Card works fine on another PC.
Motherboard manual does not specify to change any jumpers or BIOS settings.

X Fi Music conflicts with Onboard Graphics ca

Hi,
I am taking the opportunity to write about my problem with the X fi Extreme Music card. I am hoping that someone will help me out.
I have bought this card a week ago? and since then I have had nothing but just problems.
I tried to install it and it caused my Graphics to change to 4 bit colour and 800 x 600 resolution.
The sound offcourse didn't work, since then I have called up the Creative Labs support which were international phone calls to Ireland.
I have called up my PC manufacturer. I was advised to update the BIOS and the onboard graphics drivers as well as add additional Ram which I did. This didn't help and I still have the same problem despite trying everything in the last week or so.
So I am hoping someone will assist me with this.

Hi, yes I did disable the onboard audio by going to the BIOS.

(solved) get X to use my PCI card instead of onboard graphics.

I'm trying to install arch on an old P4 dell (dimension 2350) and given the specific requirements and restrictions of this given beast I'm having a bit of trouble getting X configured. (I'm turning it into a replacement for my modded xbox running xbmc, yes, I know it won't play hi-def)
Here's the setup:
- It has onboard graphics (intel) which I don't plan on using since it only has vga out.
- I've installed my video card (ATI radeon 9250 - hey it's the best standard pci card I could find)
Here's the problem:
- Everything works with the onboard intel chip
- If I try to plug my monitor in to the ATI card it (the monitor) dims and doesn't register as being attached.\
- I've tried turning off the onboard graphics in my bios but the only options are "onboard" and "auto" so it's currently set to auto.
More fun:
- The fun part is that I plan on using the ATI card's svideo out to my tv once it's set up, I'm just trying to get the monitor to work while I configure everything.
I'm considering trying to run an ubuntu live disc and seeing if I can copy over the xorg.conf file that gets generated.
Any ideas?
**edit
After some searching I've got it working. Apparently linux still reads onboard cards with this pc/bios because of the piss poor bios.
i added 'blacklist agpgart' & 'blacklist intel_agp' (without quotes) to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, set video to 'auto' in the bios, plugged the monitor into my card and rebooted.
sweet.

How to enable the onboard graphics support ?

I have touchsmart 520, and wanted to know if there is an option to enble the onboard graphics support instead of using the graphics card ?
I think the card is faulty, and need to find a way to check if this so.
Thank you,
Roye
This question was solved.
View Solution.

What are the symptoms you are seeing?
What is the complete product name or product number?
There should be a service tag somewhere on the all-in-on PC.
This is going to depend on which motherboard is installed.
There is an option in some installed motherboard BIOS (Lavaca motherboard) that enables you to select the Intel HD graphics.
With the angelino2 mobo, you will have to remove the MXM card to see if that enables the onboard video.
What is the installed OS and CPU?
