New Video card not recognized

[snidy1]

There are no options in the BIOS to disable the onboard video, so I uninstalled the drivers and disabled it in device manager. I plug in the moniter into the new card, and the system won't boot up. The new card shows up in device manager though. When I try to install the new drivers, it says that it can't find the card.
Itl's an IBM ThinkCentre, the card is an Nvidia PCI
Any ideas?

It would only be a guess, and perhaps there is a way to do it, but if there is no option to disable the on-board video in BIOS, you might be out of luck.

The BIOS options are so limited in the brand name computers...

On the second thought, perhaps you can update the BIOS with the more recent one. Check the BIOS date, and get the VC with the GPU released prior to the date of your BIOS. Maybe it just cannot recognize the newer hardware...
