Th3_uN1Qu3 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Does it have an additional power connector? If it does, you need to plug the appropriate power cable in the card before you can use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puntoMX Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 To disable your onboard VGA, go into the BIOS and set it to "disable" if you can find it.For the VGA card power, use a power-connector like you use for your floppy drive, look at this pictures upper right corner, there you will see the small 2 pin connector.
