Graphic Card Issues

My friend recently purchased a 6600 GT PCI-E model using a Gigabyte 915G motherboard with integrated Intel graphics chip... the power cables are all connected and when he attempts to boot into Windows after the splash screen he gets a BSOD and a instant reboot. I tried to disable the onboard graphics adapter as when the graphics card is not used everything boots fine, but I found no option to turn off only to reduce the amount of memory it uses (min 1mb.) I tried to locate the memory dump in the Minidump folder in Windows without any luck. I looked in the manual and he called tech support with no luck...

Thank you
 
Sometimes when you do a major hardware replacement/upgrade it is best to do a freash install. Also see if you can press F8 during boot and go to safe mode remove old drivers and install new drivers etc.

STOP 76 is typically a driver issue. Can you boot in safe mode successfully with the new card installed?

Intel's built-in graphics cards are immediately disabled if you put something in the AGP/PCI-E slots.
