    I have this motherboard that has integrated video and audio on it and I want to get rid of both so I can install my own. I have found the audio but can`t seem to find how to turn off the video or can I.
    This is my motherboard: Board: ECS M935U 1.0.
    I am thinking of getting a better motherboard but wanted to try my video and audio just to make sure they would work.

    Hi maryelle,

    From the manual for this motherboard:

    Suggest you enter BIOS setup:
    "Each time your computer starts, before the operating system loads, a message appears on the screen that prompts you to "Hit <DEL> if you want to run SETUPâ€. When you see this message, press the Delete key and the Main menu page of the Setup Utility appears on your monitor. "

    Go to the PCI / Plug and Play Setup Page

    "Some of the options on the menu page lead to tables of items with installed values. In these pages, use the cursor arrow keys to highlight the items, and then use the PgUp and PgDn keys to cycle through the alternate values for each of the items. "

    Chose Primary Graphics Adapter

    "This item indicates if the primary graphics adapter uses the PCI or the AGP bus. The default PCI setting still lets the onboard display work and allows the use of a second display card installed in a PCI slot." I'm not sure what that means. :) Does your mobo have an AGP slot?

    Highlight the setting as above and try the enter key; if nothing happens try PgUp/Down to see what's available. If you can't tell what the choices mean, make notes and let us know.

    Putting in a new mobo is a big job. :D
