Need advice to run GPU card on "new" mobo

Hah!, that sounds like a plan. Don't know if I have much room left on the PCI slots, the GPU takes up quite a bit of space, but I'll keep that in mind as a very viable alternative!

Need advice to run GPU card on "new" mobo

Nope, audio is not working. Device Manager says all is well, power is hooked up, drivers are up to date. Everything else appears to be working fine now, just the audio and that's the last "issue". Just running powered speakers off the Green & Pink cables and the outlets from the onboard audio...

Need advice to run GPU card on "new" mobo

Got it! Was in the BIOS after all, hiding in the "Advanced Chipset Features". Found a menu option "Init Disp First", changed it to PCI, and there it was! Next have to check out the audio. It's so much faster now, the new mobo holds 4 GB RAM, and moved up from a P4 1.8 GHz to a 3.2 GHz -...

Need advice to run GPU card on "new" mobo

I don't recall seeing a menu choice for that, but that is the first thing I'm going to re-check. I agree, you'd think there'd be something like that where it recognizes more than one device. Failing that, I'm going to try and re-seat the GPU card, and if that doesn't work, I'll try a Windows...

Need advice to run GPU card on "new" mobo

Hadn't thought of that, but might very well be worth a try. I was also thinking about re-seating the GPU card, 1st re-boot without, then shut down, re-install the GPU card, then re-boot. Had to move it to a different PCI slot already, as it didn't recognize it in the first one I had installed...

Need advice to run GPU card on "new" mobo

Yes, had Windows 7 installed on the 250 GB IDE HDD. It had already been running the NVidia GPU card as the previous mobo did not have onboard graphics. I just tried disabling and then uninstalling the onboard graphics from within Device Manager, then had only the NVidia card hooked up with...

Need advice to run GPU card on "new" mobo

I did not see an option in the BIOS to specifically disable the onboard, but there is that option in the Device Manager. I was a little leery to do that, being a little fearful of being left "blind" once disabled, but I thought I'd try that if I had to and if worse came to worse I could just...

Need advice to run GPU card on "new" mobo

Hi, I have an older Gateway P4 S478 system I just upgraded the mobo and CPU on. However, the mobo wants to run it's on-board graphics instead of my GPU card. Also, the sound (on-board) isn't wanting to work either. The mobo is an Aopen MX4SGI-4DN2, and the GPU card is a Sparkle/NVidia GeForce...
