Just install the GTS and BIOS will pick it up and disable onboard graphics automatically.

I have tryed many times to install GTS 250 will original CD what came with it but it said there isnt any suitable hardware for thid driver..any other ideas?

Try reseating the graphics card. Be sure to plug in the 12v auxillary to the card. If that doesn't work, you might try resetting the CMOS jumper to default the BIOS. Instructions for jumper reset are in the MB. There is no need to disable onboard in BIOS. Just install the GTS properly.

Ok..could you tell me how to reset graphic card? My graphic card is in PCI-E slot and it is powered from PSU by 6-pin and fan is spining as it should..Dont think it will be the BIOS because its October 2009 version so it should be fine..what you think?
And about the reseting graphic card???

RESEAT. Not reset. Reinstall the graphics card. Remove it from the PCIE slot and 'reseat' it. Also, resetting the CMOS jumper does not update the BIOS version. It defaults the current BIOS to default values. If the GTS 250 is installed properly, BIOS will pick it up and disable onboard automatically.

OK thanks..im going to try it now..will let you know later

If that doesn't work, try defaulting the BIOS.

When you install the card in the PCI-e slot be sure you also plug the monitor into the connector on the new video card - and then the system should automatically disable the onboard chip.

Ok guys..im gona try it all out will be back in abit..thanks for advice

 

[martin2k8]

One more thing..when i will reset CMOS should i keep the GTS 250 in PCI-E slot or take it out while im doing it????

CMOS jumper reset instructions in MB manual. Unplug the system. Remove battery and reset jumper. Reseat the graphics card and leave it in.

 

[martin2k8]

ok thanks..hope it will help..will inform you what happened.

If you know how to default the BIOS by entering BIOS on start up, you can default it there.

 

[martin2k8]

yes i have tryed it aswel in the bios by pressing F5 and bios sets to default..problem was same.kk go to reset cmos now..

 

[martin2k8]

I just did reset CMOS, reaset my card and set bios default..tryed to install driver in windows but it wont let me its said NOT SUITABLE DRIVER FOR YOUR VGA CHIP..this cd came with graphic card..system just doesnt want to recognise my card in pci-e slot for some reason..i really dont know what to do...

Well, the card gets to desktop because you are plugging the monitor into the GTS. Check in Device manager and see if the GTS shows up there.

 

[martin2k8]

I have monitor plugged into onboard graphic otherwise i tryed plug it to the GTS but the monitor is just black..checked device manager and there is only ATI Radeon HD 4200 which is onboard one, but gts isnt there..

Sounds like you have a defective video card. Is it possible to try and install it in another system to check it?

BTW, while you are at desktop with the GTS installed, check device manager and see if the GTS shows up there.

 

[martin2k8]

well i will try and ask my friend on monday..my bios version is 07/072009 do you think it would help if i try and update it for newer version if there is any..????

Systen BIOS version has nothing to do with it. There wouild be no BIOS version that updated to support GTS 250. Leave the GTS installed and open device manager and check if the GTS shows up under display adapters. If not, the card is likely faulty. Try installing the GTS in another machine.

 

[martin2k8]

Ok..maybe its PSU which is Powertek 500W so its maybe that... anyway i will try it on different motherboard and will see what will happen..thanks

PSU could be a possibility too. Check back in and post how things went with it.

 

[martin2k8]

yeah i will do..thanks for your help...speak to you soon.
