i have an msi 6390L motherboard and i want to disable the onboard graphics so i can use my radeon 7000 but i cannot work out how the feck i do it! looked through all bios settings but to no avail - if i use my radeon graphics card the system boots up but is all distorted until windows kicks in and if my system tries to go into stand-by when it comes back on it is all to pot again!
anyone got a quick fix for this one?
thanx in advance

hold windows key and the pause/break key and the sytem properties screen should come up go to hardware, device manager. Find display drivers and expand it there you should see your onboard graphics controller right click on it and go to disable then shut your computer down manually and install your radeon 7000 boot up and install drivers and your done

Do you have a picture of your MoBo? The option should be on a jumper. If you have the manual of your MoBo it explains the use of every jumper and how to change the options.

theres no jumper setting to disable the graphics and i cant disable it from device manager because there is no option to do this - maybe i cant disable graphics?
