Can't disable onboard graphics on elitegroup board, L7VMM2

External Since: Jul 29, 2004 Posts: 2

I'm trying to disable the onbaord graphics to install anAGP graphics
card. I've tried the bios numerous times and cant find the option to
disble the graphics.

I tried device manager and tried to disable the graphics. It gives me
no option to disable, only to uninstall it.

If I install the new card with the onboard graphics still active, the
monitor wont come on and the monitor LED just starts blinking as the
pc boots up.

The graphics are S3 ProsavageDDR, if anyone has experience with this
board, can ye lend me a hand.

Thankx,

S

This thread refers to the L7VMM3 board, but it may still be useful to you.

} to disable the on-board video on the ECS L7Vmm3 is actually very easy
}
} when the computer starts up hit delete to enter bios
}
} in one of the headings is a shared memory manager, set the sharded
} memory to 0, and it will shut off the on-board video
}
} then insert your agp video card and it will work perfectly
}
} the L7VMM3 is actually a very good board when you insert the good
} video card in it.
