I was messing with my friends comp cause he needed me to install the GeForce MX SE 440 Card For Him and I went into bios and tried to disable the onboard video card. Nothing was working. I even put the Bios to tell it to use secondary so it wouldn't try to read the onboard video card, but whenever trying to load it needed a boot disk. I gave it a boot disk, but it wouldn't work still. So I went back to bios and disabled everything in the functions tab and tried to run the PC. It ran, but I had to press f1 to continue. I did so and it froze. So I went back to bios and was too lazy to put back everything to enabled so I pressed on load best performance. I restarted and now it won't even read the onboard video card or the GeForce 4 MX SE 440 Card. The monitor stays on standby. Someone Please HELP!!!! I feel so bad I messed up his comp. Someone help!!!
 
Take the Nvidia out, clear the CMOS (unplug computer from wall before clearing). You should be able to reboot then.
When installing new video card, always start by setting the current video to work as MS STANDARD VGA in screen properties and uninstall previous video drivers.

I've had some troubles, in some systems, getting nvidia cards to work right, when onboard video was present. Some boards have a jumper to disable the onboard video, which is what works the best, if it is available. You might check to see if there is such a thing on his board.

The one system I worked on, I ended up putting a voodoo 3000 in, because it was the only card that would let the system boot properly. In that system, besides the nvidia card, I had also tried an ati video card, and it wouldn't work either. So some systems are fussy.

If you can find out what kind of board it is, and post it, that may help in the diagnostics.
