Installer DVD says install graphics card. I then do so (plug it in) then restart. The screen is blank. If I unplug it again and restart I see the windows screen as normal. I assume that physically plugging in the card blanks the screen (even though I'm still using onboard graphics card). If I plug the new card in after I start up with onboard graphics the DVD still won't install as thinks no card.
If I change the bios to the new card before I install the software won't the computer then be 'blind'? (I.e trying to use the unsupported graphics card whilst not using its onboard one?). Help please! I'm a newbie on this!

My own answer which I hope will help others! Here is what I did in the end (Intel Quad Core CPU with onboard Nvidia 7100 card):
• startup on the internal/motherboard mounted gpu.
• disabled the onboard gpu driver (the Nvidia 7100). The screen still stayed on but proportions were out etc but I could still get to the computer settings.
• shut down the pc and plugged the new gpu into the board.
• restarted the pc and clicked on the installer DVD and set it installing - all ok.
• restarted the pc. Done!
All was well. You can disable the onboard graphics - it won't go blank! (the pc will use the basic motherboard gpu I imagine).
So, for noobs like me: it is ok to disable an 'onboard' graphics card (one that has a separate chip but is...

So, for noobs like me: it is ok to disable an 'onboard' graphics card (one that has a separate chip but is soldered into the main board) without disaster! Then you can install & use any 'external' graphics card that is plugged in via the PCI interface (lots of info on that one!)
Cheers - hope this helps!
