Hello, i have first disabled my graphics card in my device manager, then i put the graphics card in and tried to load it by plugging my monitor cable, and when i turn it on, it still loads from my onboard graphics card. I already know that my card is PCI e and i have a slot for it, and i should disable my onboard card which i already did, and im completely lost, all i get is a black screen, and i need to switch the monitor cable back to the onboard one :( HELPP!!!!!!!!

OK, enable the old graphics card, and remove the new one. basically get the computer back to the state it was in before you put the graphics card in.
1) Go to the Device Manager in the Control panel, right-click the entry for the driver for your onboard graphics card and select Disable. Apply the changes and shut down your PC.
2) Then insert your new graphics card into the AGP port, then plug in your monitor
3) Boot the PC and enter the Setup menu to access the BIOS (Depends on the motherboard, but usually by pressing [F2] or [Del].)
4) Go to the 'Advanced Features’ page and select to 'Disable Onboard VGA’. It should be similar, but the words may vary depending on the BIOS. Save and exit.
It should be recognised. If you can't get your computer back to its old state, just go straight to step 3 as you are, and disable it in your BIOS.
Hope that works for you.

Are you sure that the pci-e card is all the way in the slot? Usually you do not have to do anything to upgrade to a video card because when you put the add-on card in it automatically disables the onboard.

If your computer is more than a year old, it might just have accumulated dust on the vacant PCie slot, preventing FULL contact. Try cleaning the slot with a small paint brush and do a couple of reseating of the graphics card.
Once you install your PCIe card, BIOS should automatically disable onboard graphics and not allocate any system RAM to videoRAM. If on board graphics is still working and system RAM is allocating memory to it, BIOS is not detecting the card on the PCIe graphics slot.

Try this. Boot in safe mode and re-enable your on board graphics. Shut down, cold, then install the new card but leave the monitor plugged in to the on board. Restart and if windows doesn't find new hardware to install, go the control panel and manually install it. Then when you shut down, plug the monitor into the new card and it should work. You may have to go into the BIOS and adjust something there but without knowing what you have, can't advise on that.

The video card is the gadget in a operating laptop or computer that outputs seen training to the computer screen. Video playing cards are also suggested as video adapters or snap shots playing cards.
