Uninstalling/removing graphics card


ricohouse

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I'm going to use the GeForce 8800GT from my current computer in my new build until I can afford new graphics card(s). Basically I just want to take it out and run it with onboard graphics for a while until I can put it back in. Should I:

 

1) uninstall driver

2) physically take the card out

3) change to onboard in the bios

 

or should I change the bios before I take the card out? Have I missed anything?

 

 

cheers

i think you should remove the card and then the drivers and install the built in driver ..that is what i used to do ....:)

and i remember that i removed the card and installed the built in card software without removing the card's drivers but just to be safe remove the drivers ..

what I do is uninstall drivers, turn the computer off take out the card, then start back up

then if I am going to install a new card I download the drivers-but do not install them

turn the computer off and put in the new card, then start up and install new drivers

I just do this extra step to keep windows from freaking out which does tend to happen with new hardware sometimes
