Have a dell dimension e520. Trying so install geforce 6200 pci graphics adapter. Tried to do what has been suggested online. Disable previous onboard adapter in device manager. Now wont boot to allow me to trouble shoot just goes to the windows error recovery window to launch start up repair or start normally, neither has worked. Not booting into safe mode with f8.At a loss to what to do
You don't disable it in Device Manager: reenable it immediately. The correct steps to replace the video card: 1 - you uninstall its driver and reboot at least twice. 2 - You install the new card, plug the Monitor in it and reboot at least once. 3 - you enter in the BIOS and disable it in there, and only in there, and you reboot at least twice with a check in the BIOS that it has remained disabled in between. 3 - you install the new driver.
