card recognition 8800 gts

[borobob]

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.


Also posted on mobo forum.

Have you installed the drivers off the CD?

Restart your PC, then keep pressing DEL till you get into the BIOS, then look for an Integrated Peripherals menu (or something like that) in there, and in there you should find an option to disable/enable onboard VGA (may be called soemthing else), just disable it then save changes, vista will probably load its own drivers for the GTS then, but you can then install the latest Vista ones from the Nvidia site, 100.56's or whatever they are.

Just realised that board doesn't have onboard gfx, in which case just download and install the latest Nvidia Vista 64 drivers, these ones

Your mobo CD is probably worth jack now for drivers since you are on Vista, you have to get everything from the manufacturers website, and as you are on Asus, like me, good luck, all the Vista drivers I d/l gave me an error when I tried installing saying that my O/S is not compatible.

Ive got same board and card all you need to do is go to the nvidia website and download and install the lastest graphics card drivers for vista 64bit and it will recognise it no probs don't know whether i can post this link but this is what you need to download and install http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x64_100.65.html

Glad it's sorted, but the first thing to realise with something like this is...you will only get a picture from the graphics card your monitor is plugged into!!! therefore if you got into windows it must be running on your new card not on the onboard graphics!!
