Hello and Welcome to TechIMO...

Well you should be able to do that through your BIOS, do you have a Dell or what kind of computer, different computers use differnet keys (F2, Delete, etc) to enter the BIOS.. When you first turn on your computer you'll see the screen that says hit "__" to enter setup. In there you should be able to find an option to turn off the onboard video. What motherboard/computer do you have?

Thanks and my Motherboard is a KM400A PRO , each time i turned on the PC the screen would not turn on

for now use your onboard and shut it off, keep the other card installed... then reboot, see how it goes from there? What are your system specs? like what processor, etc are you running?

Just to check, you are plugging the monitor into the video card once it is installed and not to the onboard video from the motherboard right?
