Anyone know what might be going on here?
I recently thru together a PC at home for my 8 year old. - I put a low profile nvidia 210 GPU in it. well to make a long story short the first few times I booted it up the card wouldnt display video. It was still sending video out the onboard port. I thought maybe the PSU wasnt enough for the card, I didnt have a chance to test that so i just left the card in and she was able to use the PC with onboard video. - then a couple days ago she turned on the PC and no display.. I restarted a few times and still nothing, so I connected the VGA to the new card and whoa it was now working. I went and got the drivers and I thought this card was now somehow working. Yesterday she turned it on again and again no display.. so now its only working with onboard video. I have looked in the BIOS but see no options to disable onboard video or enable to PCI-e card.
ideas?
well this is odd..

Update the BIOS and be sure to double check... Usually there is an option to disable the on-board integrated graphics in the BIOS. Most of the time it is around the area where you can adjust the memory allotted to the IGP.

i will check again. It just seemed odd that it would switch back anf forth like that...
