I'm happy you got video card working
From my experience, I can tell you that there is no option in the BIOS to disable the onboard graphics. It is automatically disabled when your AGP slot is occupied.
Unfortunately my problems are not solved but I'm closing in on the problem. I get random blue screen crashes "machine_check_exception". This is not related to power or cooling problems. I suspect a memory problem. I downloaded Memtest 86. This detected memory errors but I am not technically adept to decipher the error reports. It has to be one of the two RAM modules or the CPU onboard cache.
MSI says for 128bit memory support you need to populate banks 1 and 3 only.
What is "128 bit memory support " ? What is the alternative if the slots are not properly populated? I guess 128 bit memory support is simply a wider memory communication band width. Yes? No? |
