Help With EVGA 7900GS

[ken123]

I have purchased a eVGA 7900GS PCI-E video card. I also have an eMachine T6528 which uses the MS-7207 Motherboard. It has the intergrated VGA card with Geforce 6100. I placed the eVGA 7900GS, but I got no signal from it. I still have signal from my intergrated VGA card. I set my primary video card to PCI Express on the BIOS. It still does not see the new card, any clue for me? Thanks.

With regards to your problem, did you disable the integrated card? You said that you set the PCI-e to the primary but i don't know if this is the same thing or not.

To disable the integrated graphics in Windows: Right click on your My Computer icon, click Properties. Open the Hardware tab and press the Device Manager button. Expand the Display Adapters section and double click the built in graphics. On the drop down menu at the bottom, change it to Disable and make sure that the PCI-e graphics is set to Enable.

Daveskater,

Thanks for your reply. I did not even see the PSI-e graphics on the list, the only thing I saw was my onboard graphics card. So I can't really enable it.
I did "With regards to your problem, did you disable the integrated card? You said that you set the PCI-e to the primary but i don't know if this is the same thing or not." in the BIOS before Windows comes up.
Also are there any software I can use to detect if my PCI-E bus is running properly?

Thanks.
