Hi,

I have installed a new graphics card to the PCI Express slot on my motherboard however now my onboard graphics no longer function, how do I enable this? I can't see anything that resembles the option in BIOS.

If it's not possible are there any other solutions?

Thanks,

Hi DaveBoy,

I am sorry to hear you are having problems but let me help you.

Based on the information you provided, the behavior is expected. When connecting a PCI card to the system, automatically the onboard video will be disabled and the system will continue working with the video card.

Ok - I currently have a graphics card in the PCI Express X16 port running 2 monitors, if I purchase an old PCI graphics card can I use that for the third monitor so theres 2 graphics card being used at the same time?

Hi DaveBoy,

If you connect a different video card while having another one already connected, you need to set at the BIOS the main video card and from there you will have output. However, if you would like to have 3 monitors the video card must support 3 monitors by itself.
