In Goa there were these computers distributed by the government for students from the colleges. Now they are crappy computers with cheap components. Not even worth the 4 grand, but whatever. Now, I wanted to install a graphics card on one of them.

They have an AGP slot but there was a warning sticker not to put a card in there. Anyway, I put a geforce mx440 in but there was no output. I checked in the bios and there was no option to disable or enable onboard graphics and such. What do I do? Its an 845 board...

There has to be an option in ur bios.
It can be under the name 'Initialise first display type' the options would be onboard/agp or Pci.
Check it out.
