ISSUE:
There is one PCIex16 slot where i want to install a working (tested)
XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1GB)
The onboard graphics can not be disabled through BIOS. there is no option listed.
Computer would not boot regularly with both cards active. Through safemode it would randomly freeze at atipcie64.sys
finally when getting into safemood (randomly worked). Both video cards are listed in device manager. I have seen this before so i disabled the 4200 through windows. Installed the driver pack from ATI for the 5770 and restarted.
Now upon restarting. I am not in safemode and it loaded normally in a 800-600 window using the onboard card still.
I have an HDMI cable from the 5770 to the monitor and a VGA from onboard to monitor. No matter what and how long i wait the motherboard will not activate the 5770 at all through the HDMI
Even with the 4200 disabled it still uses it in low res-low color mode. WITH A PERFECTLY WORKING 5770 installed and ready to go according to windows.
After trying to mess with some drivers i uninstalled the 5770 and reinstalled it (drivers) and upon restarting i got an ATI error "ATI driver is not installed or functioning" and i've almost had it...
Am i fighting a driver battle? not to mention that the BIOS already is garbage because there is no disable function what am i missing??? No sleep until i figure this out
Ideas and tips would be great!
Appreciate it
