How do I disable an integrated video card, so I can install a new one?

I own an HP pavillion A800n that has an integrated VIA/S3G UniChrome IGP. I just bought a NVidia FX 5500. The instruction manual says that if there is an integrated card, that it needs to be disabled.



I have no idea how to disable it. I do know where to put the new video card and all that, but how do I disable the integrated one?|||Press F2 during startup|||Go into your bios(when you first boot up your computer). Then disable it.|||If you know for certain the chips that are the video card, there are copper lines on the motherboard that are the busses to it. Take a razor blade and cut through them, and make certain that they are out of the loop. You just need to cut the buss, not all the way through the card.

Will help you.

If you found that you are wrong, you can carefully drop a bead of hot solder over the cut to reconnect.|||right hit on mycomputer>hit on properties> hit hardware>hit on device manager>hit on .Display Adapters>right hit on the display card>hit on properties>hit on th device usage tab ,At the bottom.
