Check your motherboard manual. It should automatically disable when you put the new card in. Does the fan on the new card spin?

Do you know how to get in the BIOS screen? In that screen you must find something like "integrated peripherals" and you find the onboard video and disable it from there. Then save and restart.

Right click My Computer on your desk top, select properties, select hardware, and then select device manager. You should see a list of all your hardware. Find the on board video and right click, go to properties and select disable device. Now find the graphics card and right click, go to properties and select enable device. If you get a prompt to restart your computer, just go with it.

Ok To the lest tow answers
In Device Manager Idisabled the On Board Video Device But The Problem Is That Whene I Connect The Video Card To The PCI-E Slot The Fan Spins But No Image evan If I Left The Card In And Connect The Cable To The Onbaord Video Device The Screen Goes Black And No Image but In The Moment I Take Off The New Video Card And Plug The Cable To The Onboard Video Device The Pc Runnes and Shows Image!!!.

to the BIOS answer In BIOS Ihave Integrent Perephil or what ever but there is no VIDEO option I have just a few things about video its init display,shared memory,master 1 Read and Master 1 Write and it all in AGP&P2P Something like that!!

You just said it, ^ "Initial Display" is what you are looking for.
Here is what you do.
Take out the PCIe card, and hook the onboard display again.
Enter Windows, and uninstall the drivers for the onboard, installing the standard Windows VGA drivers.
Restart and enter the BIOS, now look for that "initial display" display setting, it should have several choices, choose "auto" or PCI device first.
Shutdown, install the new card, hook it up, and boot.
Do not mess with stuff in your device manager, that will only add confusion and problems to your delimma. The only thing you want to do in Windows is uninstall the drivers for the onboard graphics, that is ALL. Then, once you get the new card going, you can install the drivers for it.

Shut down your PC, take out the battery (below to the right in your first pic, looks like a dime) from your mobo - it has a clip, put it back again and go from there.

another thing i noticed is whene i put the new video card into the PCI-E Slot The PC Is Not Beeping and if i conect the cable to the onboard while the new video card is in the PCI-E slot steel no beeping but whene the new video card is not in the PCI-e Slot and the cable is connected to the onboard the pc beeps and runns fine!

by the way how the CPU effects the work of the video card? because it says that the power is based on a Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU ?!!! WTF!! it coast so much money don't tell me that if i will not buy the core 2 extreme the card won't work !!!i mean its not a super gaming extreme card its like light card!
