n-e info will be helpfull please........thanks

 

It would be helpful if you stated the make and model for both the motherboard and graphics card.

Meanwhile changing between onboard and plugged in graphics is automatic in many BIOS. Have you tried actually plugging yours in? You won't do any harm if you do - it will either work or it won't.

If your card is genuinely PCI you may need the shadow RAM.

 

ok the mother board is .....asus mew-am
hp/compaq name..mercury
mother board suplyer ...asus
bios is phoenixbios
core version 4.06
bios version 2.10


the card is a geforce fx5500 256mb ddr pci card
nvidia.
now in the bios where the video option is their is only the option to change from 1mb to 512kb to the right of the screen it says select dis able to turn off the on board video....their in lies the problem the options dont give me that choice to do that....when i run the bootdiagnos it says the video bios has been shadowed.when i plug the card int the pci slot and reboot the mother board beeps 1long 2 short.and acc to the beep codes that says it has a conflict with the on board video.

 

The motherboard should have a header to clear the BIOS and to reset it to factory defaults. It is usually located near the battery, and lableled CLR_CMOS or maybe RTC_1; check the motherboard manual. It will be 3 pins, and usually pins 1 and 2 will have a little plastic jumper on it, and you'll need to move the jumper to pins 2 and 3. Leave it there for maybe 30 seconds or so (be sure the power cord is unplugged BEFORE you even open the case!). Then move it back. Be sure to have the PCI video card installed when doing this. If you can't find the header, removing the battery for a minute or two will usually work also, just remember how to put it back in. When you plug the power cord back in, be sure the monitor video cable is plugged into the PCI video card and not the on-board video port. Then power up. You should get a message like "Invalid CMOS values. Defaults have been used. Press F1 to continue, press Del to enter Setup." You'll want to enter the setup/BIOS at this point. You'll need to set the date and time, the boot order, and whatever else is needed. If the video card is working at this point, it's probably best to NOT change any video settings just yet. If you are still having troubles, a visit to the PC/motherboard maker's web site may be necessary to see if there is a known issue with PCI video upgrades. You may need to download a BIOS update to flash the current BIOS to get the video card to work correctly.

 

First , try--select default setup (F9 usually, then F10, then yes/enter, on restart go back into bios,
Then see if the option is there when you see the same message on the right screen, and click on the drop down, to get the options.
