So this is my first graphics card and I got it all setup inside but when I try to use the installation disc I get an error message saying Please Install VGA cards of Asus and I don't know what that means, I also tried downloading drivers from the website which didn't work or maybe I installed the wrong ones i'm not sure. So if someone knows the solution please help!

Did you research the card beforehand and make sure your power supply was enough?

If your card had additional power plugs, did you plug them all in to your power supply?

Did you go into bios and set primary display to PEG or pcie?

I ordered another power supply with the card so that is not a problem and everything is plugged in but I don't know what you mean by Did you go into bios and set primary display to PEG or pcie

You said you had integrated right? In your motherboad bios primary video device is currently probably set to that.


You need to boot into the bios and change primary video device to "PEG", "pcie", or "auto"


Also make sure the monitor is plugged into the new card directly.

How would I do that, boot into the bios and would it need to be plugged in while going in to bios?
