i have a hp pavilion (lame..yes i know) and i just got me a geforce vid card, well anyways each time i remove my onboard video it just reinstalls again when i reboot!!(very annoying). is there anyway i can disable plug n play device thingy or sumpin that stops it reinstalling like the chipset itself??

can any1 help me???...please im despreate!!!

Hahahahhaha... oh sorry you said not to laugh...

Go into the Bios and disable it there.

heh. i would laff anyways.

i went into bios and it didnt have anythinng that i could do in there :(

What motherboard, usually there is a Jumper on board to disable it.

dont know...i gotta find out..but that looks like my only option.

bah, another night with 30fps@800*600

i find a hammer is a good option

yes..a hammer in my hands tonite would = no gaming tomorrow ;)

thanx fer ya ideas anarot and vorador :)

nah, that ain't gonna help, deepfry your comp, that should do.

I don't have anything much to add other than to point out that this is a prime example of why you SHOULDN'T buy motherboards with anything on-board.

hahahhaha yes anything that would hurt my pc should teach it a lesson and make it werk ;)

maybe hit it with car?

hunter - a year ago i was despreate and very very very stupid and i ran into harvey norman and bought a pc that would play cs...i regret doing that everyday :(

Yeah - CS is so gay :P

Just don't reboot!!!

I used to have a pavilion like that only I had that trouble with the onboard sound... how did I fix it? bought my own comp...

but as if u would bother witha pavilion, seriously...

The new one looks pretty nice actually.... I have to admit....

i just finished skool and have no income.

its my parents cpu i just get to get me ram,sound,video which i will put into a pc i make when i get a job :)

Oh these machines will work ok by themselves but upgrading is another matter. Everyone makes the mistake of buying a store machine at least once in their lifetime though. That said I was only pointing out that if you buy individual components.

I never did... well.. I bought a Gateway, but sif that is a store machine!

it's done on jumpers, had to do it on a mate of mines

yer, ill do that then.

What? Wear a jumper? :P

Hey Deci, what sort of motherboard do you have?

i not sure atm, i gotta find out wot it is.

Actually, what's the model number for your hp?

6621
