When you said you changed the setting, for PCI-E first... was that the "Boot Order" setting,, and the one that you put first was "PCI card"? That's the wrong setting, btw. That's your HDD/disk boot device order, and has nothing to do with the graphics initialization.

You need to look in your BIOS, under possible Northbridge, or Chipset, and there will be a setting for Integrated Graphics Initialization or something like that, you need to set it to PCI-E then IGP, which will check the PCI-E slot first for a graphics card, then the chipset IGP.

At this point, I'm going to need you to take pictures of your BIOS screens and sub-menus, with a digicam or your cell phone, then post them here. That requires using an image-hosting service, like postimg / postimage / imgur / etc.. To post a picture, upload it first, then in the textbox, type "
".

There's a limit of 10 images per post.

Does your board look like this?

Here's the manual (don't know if this link will work for you):

If that link doesn't work, then go the the link above it, and navigate to "Downloads", and then "Manual", and click on "Global", and a PDF should open in your browser.

Look at page 44-45.

Under "PNP/PCI Configurations"
45
Using BIOS
Init Display First (PCI Slot)
This item allows you to choose the primary display card.

Edit: Set that setting to "PCI-E slot", if available, and if not, set it to just "PCI slot".

If that setting doesn't work, by setting that selection, SAVE AND EXIT BIOS, and then plugging the monitor cable into the card, and booting, if you don't see the BIOS screen or can't access it via using the video card, then your card is defective, or has a BIOS incompatibility, and won't work.

Thanks should be getting it within the week, in the meantime here's a much easier question. can you tell me if these two items would work as a RAm upgrade and prossor upgrade?
