My motherboard vga died, and i want to know how i can use my pci video card to get it to work again?

my vga port died on my gigabyte ga-m61sme motherboard, and i want to use my pci vga card to display stuff, but i cant change the bios settings because i cant see it :(|||to go to bios settings ---> restart your computer ---> then press delete when its booting up -- it will take you to the bios area and change bios settings|||Yes you can because by default the bios and the windows system will look for somewhere to conecct if they do not find #1 they will go to the next, but also check your monitor conector some times the pin are broken or it is faulty and it will not show nothing.

If this work you still to install the drivers for you new video card so you can get the best of colors and resolution you card and monitor can provided, some time you has to use the old DOS trick to force the bios to get into default vga, by means of cds or any device that can work in DOS mode,like windows cd,antivirus and some others like the software for your hardrive or you can make your own by installing into a pendrive your operating system dos files, that are called bootdisk in microsoft.com/support or any other site you can find it like bootdisk.com you just the type of Os you have and you can do it anywhere.|||Sounds like your computer is still setting the onboard GC as default. You may have to reset the bios from the boards bios jumper and the place your pci card in to even receive a bios post. If you don't know too much about the bios, I wouldn't recommend resetting it. That board should support pci-e, Go out and buy a pci-e card and use that instead. Usually a pci-e will be set to default when you place one into a motherboard.|||you probably need to set a jumper on the mainboard to ignore the onboard chip. find the motherboard id and look it up online.



it should still boot up though you might try watching the drive light activity till it stops and type in your windows password.



you have moved the cable from the old to the new havent you?|||That's a modern plug and play motherboard. Just plug in your pci (express?) card, connect your monitor to the card and you should get a display.|||It might only display to a PCI-Express card. It's worth the investment if it works considering integrated chipsets aren't that great.|||get a new mainboard... anything else fails.
