Hi,
I have decided to move away from my onboard VGA graphics and installed a new ASUS EAH5450 PCIE card.
However, it will not work, and in fact the machine (WinXP Pro/2GB RAM) will not even start to boot up once the card is installed.
I have checked the BIOS and set the Primary Graphics Adapter to PCIE. I cannot find anywhere to actually disable the onboard VGA, so assume that it will 'auto-switch' once the new card is detected.
Interestingly, the machine will not even boot up with the new card installed AND the monitor connected to the onboard VGA port, yet all is perfectly well once I remove the new card.
Any clues or suggestions as to what might be going on and how to fix would be most welcome. Do I need to install the new drivers first (albeit that it should boot in safe mode at least anyway)?
Thanks, R.
