hello
i have an emachines pc 3230 that has an integrated graphics unit intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV graphics controller which is pretty crappy. i got a radeon 9600 pro to upgraded my comp and installed as follows..
uninstalled intel drivers, turn off comp, connect 9600 in the AGP slot, turn comp on enter BIOS setings n disabled the intel onboard card. in the BIOS there is no option were u can select the AGP slot on or off just an option allowing u to select the MB of the card. it was on auto so i changed it to 256 which the card had. save n exit. turn on comp and big black screen.... but when i thurn pc on i can still enter the BIOS settings?? what is wrong there is power to the card as the fan spins round and the pc seems to load up normally into xp but there is just a black screen. i have checked all connections but it has made no dfference..
