Hi there I just got a new ATI-x1950 graphic card and i wanted to disable the on board graphic card. I was wondering if I can just disable it though Device Manager?? or is there other ways to disable the on board graphic card?? I just don't to damage my pc so can anyone give me some advice on how to disable the on board graphic card. Thank you.

That could be a tonne of reasons.

First things first have you installed the latest drivers for your graphics card?

Also as im off now check the following:


Temps of system.

Memcheck for faulty ram.

Try benchmarking see if that freezes it if it does it has nothing to do with graphics card.

Try reappyling thermal paste if temps to high.

Thats all i can think of right now but its 1 am here soo off to bed!!
