Asus p5N-E SLI gfx card problem

borobob · 26 Feb 2007 at 20:54

I have installed a 8800gts (BFG o/c version) onto a asus P5N-E SLI mobo with 2g guile ram and a E6300 .All running on Vista 64.
All boots up fine but the problem it isnt recognising the gts .it says I have a generic vga (think this is onboard mobo)
How do I disable the onboard vga,,
How do I get it to recognise the gts

am a bit of a noob so step by step would be cool.

Have you installed drivers for the GTS at all?

There is no on-board VGA on the P5N-E SLi, so that rules that one out. I am surprised it hasn't picked up your graphics card, but the latest drivers are on the Nvidia website. I would definitely install the chipset drivers first though (if you haven't already) as they make lots of things work properly.
