You need to boot the system into the bios and disable the on-board video from there. You may also have to set AGP or PCI as the first video device

It may be under "Integrated PCI Devices" in the bios... The new video card doesn't work when you install it?

First off, what kind of graphics card did you buy. I'm guessing since your said you got that from an eMachines website, you might need to buy a new PSU since most of their power supplies aren't high wattage and their crap any way so it would be recommended to buy a new one. But here's what you should do:

1. First uninstall all your old graphic card drivers, if haven't done so.
2. Restart your computer and boot into your bios. ( Look under the section Advanced and their should be something about onboard or just browse through parts of it till you find something about video) Disable it and do what tMagic said.
3. Then save all and exit.
