Intel DG31PR Motherboard Logo
Anonymous Posted on Jan 10, 2011

I am facing a problem to install my XFX Radeon HD 4350 1GB graphics card. My PC has a intel DG31PR with core 2 duo and 3 gb ddr2 RAM. the CPU starts but there is no visual on my ACER monitor. I have applied the following method as suggested by xrojer Rank: Wiz Rating: 81%, 7 Votes Rest the BIOS By removing the CMOS battery By using the motherboard jumper A. By Removing the CMOS Battery: Almost all motherboards use a small coin sized CMOS battery to store all BIOS settings along with the password. To reset the password, unplug the PC, open the cabinet and remove the CMOS battery for approx. 15-30 minutes and then put it back. It'll reset all BIOS settings as well as the password and you'll need to re-enter all settings. B. By Using the Motherboard Jumper: Almost all motherboards contain a jumper that can clear all CMOS settings along with the BIOS password. The location of this jumper varies depending upon the motherboard brand. You should read your motherboard manual to check its location. If you don't have the manual then look for the jumpers near the CMOS battery. Most of the manufacturer label the jumper as CLR, CLEAR, CLEAR CMOS, etc. When you find the jumper, look carefully. There will be 3 pins and the jumper will be joining the center pin to either left or right pin. What you need to do, is remove the jumper and join the center pin to the opposite pin. e.g. if the jumper joins center pin to left pin, then remove it and join center pin to right pin. Now wait for a few seconds and then again remove the jumper and join the center pin to left pin. Make sure to turn the PC off before opening the cabinet and resetting the jumper. EVEN AFTER APPLYING ALL THE ABOVE METHODS, I AM NOT GETTING A POSITIVE RESULT. THE CPU STARTS, EVERYTHING IS NORMAL EXCEPT THAT THERE IS NO VISUAL ON THE MONITOR. WHEN I PUT THE VGA CORD OF THE MONITOR BACK TO THE MOTHERBOARD, THE PC WORKS FINE AND I GET A VISUAL ON THE MONITOR. PLEASE HELP

Start your PC with the monitor plugged into the motherboard and enter BIOS settings. Often there is also a setting in BIOS on newer boards that allows you to set either a PCI card or AGP card as the primary video device. Make sure this is set to your video card. In your case, you should choose PCI-E since that's what type your card is. So, in BIOS settings look for PCI PnP primary display adapter PCI-E.

Save Settings and Exit BIOS, then plug your monitor into your graphics card.

It sounds like you need to change a BIOS setting. I don't have this MoBo, but on others there is a toggle to make the integrated graphics primary or secondary. You would need to change it to secondary. On this card this should happen automatically - so check BIOS settings and that your new card is properly seated in the slot.

Installing External Graphics Cards
If you want to install a 3rd party external graphics card instead of using the onboard graphics, follow these steps:

  1. Install the 3rd party external graphics card, following the installation instructions that come with the card.
  2. Integrated graphics is automatically turned off.
