Windows 10: Should I install an additional graphics card on new Motherboard?

I built a new PC using an Asrock H370M-Plus. The new machine is working well, however, I am not completely satisfied with the graphics. I have recently purchased a new Dell monitor and the mobo recognized it immediately so there are no issues there. But when I am working in an application such as Win word, i am able to see the screen but it appears all washed out. Wondering if i have missed something in settings. Any assistance out there is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

How to install/use new graphics card when currently running igp

Ok, I know I can't buy the GTX1070 yet, but once I have it, how do I install/use it?
Currently I'm using Intel HD530 graphics on my i5 6500 CPU.

What I think the procedure should be:

• Leave the DVI cable connected to the motherboard, startup PC with IGP.
• Go in the BIOS and look for an option to disable IGP and enable PCIe graphics.
• Save BIOS (do I still have display once I saved this setting?) and shut down.
• Inserting new graphics card.
• Connect DVI cable to graphics card.
• Startup PC.
• Install new graphics driver.

Would this be the correct way?
Also do I need to uninstall the Intel graphics before installing the Nvidia display driver
(or even before doing the mentioned steps above)?

Thanks!

 

graphics card problems

Hi,

Your computer makes a noise or beeps from your internal speaker because it failed to detect the graphics card. What we can suggest is for you to try cleaning your graphics card with a pencil eraser. Here are the steps below:

• Turn your computer off.
• Pull out your video/graphics card.
• Rubbed the cold contacts with soft pencil eraser.
• Connect your video/graphics card back to the computer.

Kindly note that this is just a temporary fix. If the case still continues, I suggest that you contact your graphics card's manufacturer.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Continuous Reboot, New Graphics Card

Hi Vanessa,

There are possible reasons why your computer is rebooting continously:

• Your power supply not giving enough power to the graphics card.
  
• Video / Graphics card may not be seated properly.
  
• Power cables not properly inserted into the motherboard and into the video card.

If all of the said things are done and rectified and concern still persists, we suggest to run a clean install for Windows 10. A clean install is an opportunity to start fresh from scratch without any bloatware and trial software that might have come pre-installed
with your system. You will also regain control over your apps, as you can now install only the applications you need, and you'll also start with a brand new and clean Windows Registry. Kindly click on the article below and follow the steps provided by Andre
