I want to install a new video card but my old is built into the motherboard.
Can anyone tell me how to uninstall the old one from the BIOS?
 
Every BIOS is different. You will have to go through the various BIOS
screens looking for the onboard video and turn it off yourself.
 
You might disable it in BIOS if it doesn't do it automatically when you
install the new video adapter.
 
Well, if you can't deselect it in the bios, then go to device manager and
under display adapters, right click [your onboard adapter] properties, device
usage, select "do not use this device" and click ok.. Turn off the computer
and connect the monitor to the new display card, reboot and install your new
cards drivers..

Install the second card before disabling the on board graphics.. ensure that
the new card works, then enter BIOS and set the onboard graphics to 0 RAM..

If at some point the new card fails, you will have to remove the CMOS
battery or utilise the 'clear CMOS' jumper to get the default RAM support
back for the onboard graphics..
 
Ok, that's a little to technical for me. And I can't find a BIOS setting for
onboard graphics.

All this for one game.

But thanks for the help.

There is no setting per se.. it is in one of the sections, and will have the
label 'shared memory' maybe..
 
You might just be better off taking the computer and your new card to the
shop, let the Pro's install and set it up for you, they might even install
the game for you too...
Might be it won't cost too much more anyway.. You could also just ask a kid
in the neighborhood to do it too, probably take them 15--30 min max to set it
up for you..

My HP 8750c has onboard video and there is no way in the bios to disable it
period.. I had to use the device manager to disable the onboard adapter. It's
your call, only you know your limitations..
Good luck..
